Statistics are an integral component of evaluating the success of an infertility practice.
One of the responsibilities of SART is to collect and validate data voluntarily submitted from assisted reproductive technology clinics in the United States and Canada on behalf of the government. SART provides a comprehensive representation of infertility clinics' data. Having access to a clinic's statistics provides people with some of the information necessary to make an informed decision. To ensure choosing a clinic that will provide optimal results, determinants such as live births per cycle, average number of embryos transferred, and multiple birth rate per transfer should be evaluated by potential patients. Not only is success based on statistics, but is also related to the expertise of the physician, the staff, and the quality of its ART laboratory.
