    SART Releases IVF Success Rate Data for 2010

    By Leigh Ann Woodruff, February 7, 2012

    The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology has released the 2010 IVF Success Rate National Summary, the latest clinical outcomes data on assisted reproductive technologies for the year 2010.

    The national SART data shows that for 2010:

    • 370 clinics reported data to SART
    • Data was reported on 146,693 in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycles.
    • There were 58,727 babies born from IVF treatment cycles.
    • For fresh embryos from non-donor eggs, the percentage of IVF cycles resulting in live births for women 42 (4.1 percent )
    • For fresh embryos from non-donor eggs, the average number of embryos transferred for women 42 (3.1 )

    The 2010 data reflects many positive trends, including transferring fewer embryos per cycle and increased use of single embryo transfer. “We are continuing our focus on ART best practices, performance and safety," says Glenn Schattman M.D., President of SART. "There's clearly a decrease in the number of embryos transferred, which is a steady progression every year based on SART embryo transfer guidelines.
