IVF Success Rates

How Are IVF Success Rates Determined?

IVF success rates are reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). The CDC issues a Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report and SART issues its Clinic Summary Report for each of its fertility clinic members.

All Fertility clinics in the United States are required to report their success rates to the CDC. Only clinics that are members of SART are required to report their success rates to SART. SART member clinics meet the highest standards for quality, safety, and patient care.

SART’s reporting helps create data transparency for member clinics. SART oversees member fertility clinics and helps ensure standards for quality, safety and patient care across all assisted reproductive technologies. Choosing a fertility team that reports to SART is one of the first decisions a prospective parent can make.

What to Consider When Evaluating IVF Success Rates

SART recommends that patients thoroughly examine a fertility clinic’s statistics and not use them as the sole resource in comparing the quality of clinics:

“A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches, and entry criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic”

For example, a clinic with excellent rates may in fact be turning away those with a lower chance of success or moving all their patients directly to IVF without exploring other options. Alternatively, a small clinic could have seemingly good numbers but not have enough cases for those figures to be statistically significant.

It’s also important to recognize that these statistics only represent births through IVF, and not other common fertility treatments, such as ovulation induction with intrauterine insemination (IUI).
