CDC Releases 2016 Assisted Reproductive Technology Fertility Clinic Success Rates

CDC has released the 2016 Assisted Reproductive Technology Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report and 2016 Assisted Reproductive Technology National Summary Report. The interactive web display of ART success rates also has been updated to reflect the latest data.

During 2016, there were 263,577 assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles performed at 463 reporting clinics in the United States, resulting in 65,996 live births (deliveries of one or more living infants) and 76,930 live born infants. Of the 263,577 ART cycles performed in 2016, 65,840 were banking cycles in which the intent of the ART cycle was to freeze all resulting eggs or embryos for future ART cycles and for which we would not expect a resulting pregnancy or birth.

Although the use of ART is still relatively rare as compared to the potential demand, its use has doubled over the past decade. Today, approximately 1.7% of all infants born in the United States every year are conceived using ART.
