Fertility treatment in 2006 - a statistical analysis
We commissioned the Oxford-based National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU) to analyse data gathered in 2006 from all licensed fertility centres.
This is the most comprehensive analysis of the outcomes of fertility treatment from HFEA data ever undertaken in the UK and this can now be used by clinics, patients and researchers to provide a greater understanding of the outcomes of fertility treatment.
The NPEU’s report allows us to have for the first time an in depth picture of the success rates of various fertility treatments by age group, by type of treatment and whether fresh or frozen embryos were used.
We have a clear picture of the impact of age on the live birth rate. And we can show the risk of miscarriage in pregnancies following fertility treatment and the prevalence of low birth weight and preterm babies.
