2022 Final Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Patient and Cycle Characteristics

ART data are made available as part of the National ART Surveillance System (NASS) that collects success rates, services, profiles and annual summary data from fertility clinics across the U.S. There are four datasets available: ART Services and Profiles, ART Patient and Cycle Characteristics, ART Success Rates, and ART Summary. All four datasets may be linked by “ClinicID.” ClinicID is a unique identifier for each clinic that reported cycles.

The Patient and Cycle Characteristics dataset summarizes the types of ART services performed and the kinds of patients who received ART procedures in a specific clinic. Please note patient characteristics are presented per cycle rather than per patient. As a result, patients who had more than one ART cycle within the reporting year are represented more than once.
