Background: Missing race/ethnicity data are common in many surveillance systems and registries, which may limit complete and accurate assessments of racial and ethnic disparities. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Assist…

OBJECTIVE: To examine trends, characteristics, and outcomes of donor oocyte embryo transfer cycles by original oocyte and resultant embryo state and determine whether oocyte state (fresh or frozen) is differentially associated with clinical…

BackgroundInsurance coverage for fertility services may reduce the financial burden of high-cost fertility care such as assisted reproductive technology and improve its utilization. Patients who exit care after failing to reach their reprod…

BACKGROUND: As the use of in vitro fertilization continues to increase in the United States, up-to-date models that estimate cumulative live birth rates after multiple oocyte retrievals and embryo transfers (fresh and frozen) are valuable f…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and treatment characteristics of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles involving specific male factor infertility diagnoses in the United States. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of ART cycles …

OBJECTIVE: To examine trends of frozen embryo transfer (FET) proportions and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) incidence and determine risk factors for LGA infants after FET. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Not applicable. PAT…

BACKGROUND: Chlamydial infection is associated with tubal factor infertility (TFI); however, assessment of prior chlamydial infection and TFI is imperfect. We previously evaluated a combination of serological assays for association with TFI…

BACKGROUND: Nearly 14% of US women report any lifetime infertility which is associated with health care costs and psychosocial consequences. Tubal factor infertility (TFI) often occurs as a result of sexually transmitted diseases and subseq…

OBJECTIVES: To assess trends, predictors, and perinatal outcomes of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) associated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in the United States. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using National Assist…

STUDY QUESTION: Is air pollution associated with IVF treatment outcomes in the USA? SUMMARY ANSWER: We did not find clear evidence of a meaningful association between reproductive outcomes and average daily concentrations of particulate ma…

Study questionIs the use of donor oocytes in women <35 years of age associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes compared to use of autologous oocytes?Summary answerAmong fresh assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle…

BACKGROUND: Smoking near conception has adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. We estimated the proportion of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles with smoking reported and associated clinical outcomes. METHODS: We used a retrospe…

BackgroundInformation regarding the use of donor sperm in assisted reproductive technology, as well as subsequent treatment and perinatal outcomes, remains limited. Outcome data would aid patient counseling and clinical decision making.Obje…

PURPOSE: In vitro fertilization (IVF) infants have lower birthweights than their peers, predisposing them to long-term health consequences. Blastocyst transfer (BT), at day 5-6 post-fertilization, is increasing in usage, partially due to im…

BACKGROUND: Singleton infants conceived using assisted reproductive technology have lower average birthweights than naturally conceived infants and are more likely to be born low birthweight (<2500 gr). Lower birthweights are associated wit…

OBJECTIVE: To compare indications and trends in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) use for in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles among residents of states with and without insurance mandates for IVF coverage. DESIGN: Cross-sectional ana…

OBJECTIVE: To compare associations between interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) and adverse perinatal outcomes in deliveries following IVF with deliveries following spontaneous conception or other (non-IVF) fertility treatments. DESIGN: Cohort …

PURPOSE: To compare national trends and perinatal outcomes following the use of ejaculated versus surgically acquired sperm among IVF cycles with male factor infertility. METHODS: This retrospective cohort includes US fertility clinics rep…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the spectrum of infertility diagnoses and assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments in relation to risk of preterm birth (PTB) in singletons. METHODS: Population-based assisted repro…

OBJECTIVE: To compare characteristics, explore predictors, and compare assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle, transfer, and pregnancy outcomes of autologous and donor cryopreserved oocyte cycles with fresh oocyte cycles. DESIGN: Ret…

OBJECTIVE: To explore disparities in prematurity and low birth weight (LBW) by maternal race and ethnicity among singletons conceived with and without assisted reproductive technology (ART). METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort stu…

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to describe trends in and investigate variables associated with clinical pregnancy and live birth in autologous in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles among women ≥40 years. METHODS: We used autologous IV…

OBJECTIVE: To examine outcomes of singleton pregnancies conceived without assisted reproductive technology (non-ART) compared with singletons conceived with ART by elective single-embryo transfer (eSET), nonelective single-embryo transfer (…

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis infection is highly prevalent among young women in the United States. Prevention of long-term sequelae of infection, including tubal factor infertility, is a primary goal of chlamydia screening and treatmen…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the relationship between severe diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and assisted reproductive technology outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort including all United States’ fertility centers reporting to the CDC N…
