Embryo Transfer Outcomes Linked to Air Quality Index in New York, 2023

190 embryo transfer procedures from a single fertility center in New York between June 1 and July 31, 2023 are analyzed against EPA Air Quality Index categories. The retrospective cohort study by Hannah Hamerman investigates associations between air pollution from Canadian wildfires and clinical pregnancy rates. Outcomes for 127 single euploid embryo transfers are analyzed separately.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between air quality index and clinical pregnancy rates based on the study's primary outcome measure
• Compare reproductive outcomes across different AQI categories (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy) based on the study's stratification
• Investigate the impact of short-term air pollution events on live birth rates based on the secondary outcome mentioned
• Study the effect of environmental factors on single euploid embryo transfer success based on the separately analyzed cohort

Strengths

• Dataset includes 190 embryo transfer procedures with outcomes linked to specific AQI values
• Analysis includes a subset of 127 single euploid embryo transfers for more controlled comparison
• Clinical outcomes are defined with multiple measures: clinical pregnancy rate, biochemical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and 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
• Data reflects geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single center study over two months
