Purpose: The objective was to explore the variability in in
vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates.
Methods: Published success rates from IVF clinics in North
America were investigated to establish types of biases and
potential inaccuracies.
Results: Success rates reported by IVF clinics vary with
regard to the indices and patient populations used to compute
them. Selection bias and misunderstood statistics are
major factors contributing to the inappropriateness of certain
rates.
Conclusions: The influence of privatization and market
forces also may contribute to the need to oversimplify
IVF statistics. |
