This report includes a national overview that uses information from U.S.
fertility clinics to provide an in-depth picture of the type, number,
and outcome of ART cycles performed in U.S. clinics. The report also
includes individual clinic tables that provide ART success rates and
other information from each clinic that submitted and verified its 2004
data and appendixes containing the results of data validation visits,
technical notes, a glossary, and contact information for reporting and
nonreporting clinics in the United States.
The data for this national
report come from the 411 fertility clinics in operation in 2004 that
provided and verified data on the outcomes of all ART cycles started in
their clinics. The 127,977 ART cycles performed at these reporting
clinics in 2004 resulted in 36,760 live births (deliveries of one or
more living infants) and 49,458 infants. Data provided by U.S. clinics
that use assisted reproductive technology (ART) to treat infertility are
a rich source of information about the factors that contribute to a
successful ART treatment—the delivery of a live-born infant.
