Reporting Success Rates

Through our continuous refinements in clinical and laboratory techniques, and with the application of scientific advancements, the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine continually achieves high pregnancy rates resulting in a live-born infant. A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches may vary from clinic to clinic.

Most U.S. and Canadian fertility programs follow the guidelines of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) www.sart.org in reporting success rates. Each year, SART and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collect, compile, and publish clinic-specific data. Results are organized by state and procedure. The data also includes information on pregnancy outcomes, such as the rate of miscarriage, twins, and other multiple births.
