Description:Since the birth of the first US infant conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART) in 1981, both the use of ART and the number of fertility clinics providing ART services have increased steadily. ART includes fertility treatments in which eggs or embryos are handled in the laboratory (i.e., in vitro fertilization [IVF] and related procedures). Although the majority of infants conceived through ART are singletons, women who undergo ART procedures are more likely than women who conceive without fertility treatments to have multiple births because multiple embryos may be transferred. Multiple births can pose increased risks for both mothers and infants, including obstetric complications, preterm birth, and low birthweight. This data brief provides state-specific information on US ART procedures performed in 2020 and compares birth outcomes that occurred in 2020 with outcomes for all infants born in the United States in 2020. It includes data from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
