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 38.5% (148 retrievals); national average 49.7% 38.5% Under 35 35–37: this clinic 32.2% (59 retrievals); national average 36.3% 32.2% 35–37 38–40: this clinic 11.1% (36 retrievals); national average 23.1% 11.1% 38–40 Over 40: this clinic 0 live-birth deliveries of 14 intended retrievals (too few for a rate) (14 retrievals); national average 7.7% 0/14 Over 40

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