IVF and FET Cycle Outcomes from a Public ART Center in Morocco, 2013-2022

2,495 couples received fertility services at Morocco's first public assisted reproductive technology center between October 2013 and December 2022. Clinical pregnancy rates were 23.8% for IVF and 21% for frozen embryo transfer, with live birth rates of 16.6% and 14.3%. The dataset, authored by Amal Benbella and shared on figshare, supports a realist evaluation of the center's impact on access and affordability in low- and middle-income countries.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking clinical pregnancy and live birth rates for IVF and FET based on the reported outcome percentages.
• Analyzing the impact of public sector ART provision on service utilization based on the described contextual factors like cost and stigma.
• Modeling factors for successful ART program replication in LMICs based on the identified key mechanisms like workforce training and patient-centred care.
• Studying temporal trends in fertility treatment access and outcomes over the 9-year period covered by the data.

Strengths

• Covers 9 years of clinical operations from 2013 to 2022.
• Includes outcomes for 2,495 couples, providing a substantive cohort for analysis.
• Reports specific clinical metrics: 23.8% IVF pregnancy rate and 16.6% IVF live birth rate.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope or highly aggregated data.
