IVF Success Rates

RPMG Announces 2008 Preliminary Results
Reproductive Partners Medical Group, Inc. has published its 2008 preliminary results on their website, reproductivepartners.com. When all the babies conceived in 2008 have been born, these results will be reported officially to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). The 2008 results from the Los Angeles and Orange County offices showed success rates of 63% (age under 35) 50% (ages 35-37) and 40% (ages 38-40) based on clinical pregnancies per retrieval. Cycles using egg donors had a success rate of 65% based on clinical pregnancies per embryo transfer. Complete reports for prior years as well as the results of all other centers reported can be found at the sart.org website.

Because the type and age of patients treated may vary from program to program, the comparison of cycle statistics is complicated. Couples should be aware of differences among programs as well as differences in specific characteristics when reviewing the data. There are a number of factors to keep in mind when reviewing data.

Only annual data should be quoted since short-term trends are unreliable. Outcomes should be reported only in terms of live births per cycle (clinical pregnancies for the last reporting year), retrieval or transfer. Success rates reported in the SART Data Registry format cannot be compared to programs which do not report to SART, since non-reporters may utilize formats designed to inflate their success rates.

In order to get a long-term view of our results we present a cumulative report of the last five years as well as 2008, the latest reporting year, on our website reproductive partners.com.
