Reported live-birth rate per intended egg retrieval, by patient age — CDC NASS 2022 Final ART Summary
0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Under 35: this clinic 69.1% (110 retrievals); national average 49.7% 69.1% Under 35 35–37: this clinic 47.4% (38 retrievals); national average 36.3% 47.4% 35–37 38–40: this clinic 7 live-birth deliveries of 13 intended retrievals (too few for a rate) (13 retrievals); national average 23.1% 7/13 38–40 Over 40: this clinic: not reported (8 retrievals); national average 7.7% — Over 40

Bands shown as a count (e.g. 3/15) had too few retrievals for the CDC to report a reliable rate. — means the band was not reported. We don't draw bars for either.
