Assisted Reproduction Registries and Reporting
Abstract
Fertility treatment 2018: trends and figures is an annual statistical release of UK statistics for IVF and donor insemination (DI) treatment, storage and donation. The release reports that about 54,000 patients had 68,724 fresh and frozen IVF cycles and 5,651 DI cycles at HFEA licensed fertility clinics in the UK in 2018. Sections cover birth rates by age and cycle number, donor egg use, multiple births, the number of embryos transferred, egg and embryo storage, and NHS funding, and the release states that the multiple birth rate decreased to 8% in 2018. The figures come from Register data as at 07/01/2020, with approximately 850 cycles excluded because of technical issues at one centre that resulted in reporting errors.
