Global in vitro fertilization utilization: How does the United States compare?

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The worldwide utilization of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has increased dramatically over the past 4 decades. Since the first birth from IVF in 1978, at least 8 million children have been born from IVF-assisted pregnancies (1). Despite this rapid growth, significant economic, social, cultural, and structural barriers prevent many patients who struggle with infertility from accessing IVF. The European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) estimated the population-based demand for IVF to be approximately 3,000 cycles per million people (2); however, as of 2016, no European country had met this threshold.
