Does the cause of infertility affect the chances of success using ART?
Figure 14 shows the percentage of live births after an ART procedure according to the primary cause of infertility. (See the glossary for an explanation of the diagnoses.) The success rates varied little among most of the different diagnoses; most were near the overall national success rate of 24.0%. However, the use of these diagnostic categories may vary from clinic to clinic, and the definitions are imprecise.
