PDFAssisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance — United States, 2011  Saswati Sunderam, PhD, Dmitry M. Kissin, MD, Sara B. Crawford, PhD, et al. MMWR 2014;63(No. SS-10)  Since the first U.S. infant conceived with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) was born in 1981, both the use of advanced technologies to overcome infertility and the number of fertility clinics providing ART services have increased steadily in the United States. ART includes fertility treatments in which both eggs and embryos are handled in the laboratory (i.e., in vitro fertilization [IVF] and related procedures). This report provides state-specific information on U.S. ART procedures performed in 2011 and compares infant outcomes that occurred in 2011 (resulting from procedures performed in 2010 and 2011) with outcomes for all infants born in the United States in 2011.
