The ART report provides an in-depth picture of the type, number, and outcome of ART cycles performed in U.S. fertility clinics. It also includes individual clinic tables that provide ART success rates and other information from each clinic. The report includes submitted and verified 2005 data and appendixes containing the results of data validation visits, technical notes, a glossary, and contact information for reporting and non-reporting clinics in the United States.

The data for this national report comes from the 422 fertility clinics in operation in 2005 that provided and verified data on the outcomes of all ART cycles started at their clinics. The 134,260 ART cycles performed at these reporting clinics in 2005 resulted in 38,910 live births (deliveries of one or more living infants) and 52,041 infants. Data provided by U.S. fertility clinics that use ART to treat infertility is a rich source of information about the factors that contribute to a successful ART treatment—the delivery of a live-born infant.
