2019 Assisted Reproductive Technology Fertility Clinic and National Summary Report

The 2019 Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Fertility Clinic and National Summary Report, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-493), presents data submitted by 449 reporting US fertility clinics for ART cycles initiated during the 2019 reporting year. The Report includes data on a total of 330,773 ART cycles performed and 78,889 live-birth deliveries. Beginning with the 2019 reporting year, clinic-specific ART success rates are reported in the ART Success Rates by Clinic online application instead of in the printed annual report; the 2019 publication consolidates the previously separate fertility clinic and national summary reports. Standard age bands changed for the 2019 reporting year to less than 35, 35 to 37, 38 to 40, and over 40 years. National summary figures present noncumulative data on cycles performed in the reporting year. CDC estimates that NASS captures 97 to 98 percent of all ART cycles performed in the United States. The 2019 Report includes information on cumulative success rates per intended retrieval cycle, fresh and frozen embryo transfer outcomes, donor egg cycles, embryo banking, and gestational carrier cycles.
