U.S. Assisted Reproductive Technology Patient and Cycle Characteristics for 2022

2022 Assisted Reproductive Technology data from the National ART Surveillance System details patient demographics and treatment cycles across U.S. fertility clinics. The dataset includes over 20 columns such as ClinicId, Cycle_Count, Data_Value, and Breakout_Category, linking to other ART reports. Data are presented per cycle, meaning patients with multiple cycles in the reporting year appear multiple times.

Use Cases

• Analyze geographic distribution of ART services using LocationAbbr, City, and Geolocation columns.
• Compare patient demographics and treatment types across clinics using Breakout, Breakout_Category, and Data_Value.
• Link clinic performance metrics across related datasets using the unique ClinicId identifier.
• Profile clinic operational status and director information using Clinic Status and MedicalDirector fields.

Strengths

• Part of a national surveillance system (NASS) with data from clinics across the U.S.
• Can be linked to three other related ART datasets using the ClinicID field.
• Includes detailed breakdowns via columns like Breakout, Breakout_Category, and Question.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Patient characteristics are aggregated per cycle, not per unique patient, which may affect individual-level analysis.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
