Description
Summary:Abstract To evaluate the current perspectives on reporting success rates for assisted reproductive technology, the authors conducted a nationwide survey. Of the 327 facilities that responded (response rate: 53.5%), over half recognized potential benefits of reporting in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates, such as aiding patients in selecting a clinic (68.5%) and enhancing the quality and efficiency of information provided to patients (62.1%). However, concerns regarding potential negative impacts, including patient selection bias, were also highlighted, albeit to a lesser extent (32.7%–52.3%). These findings underscore the need for further discussions to establish an unbiased reporting framework and improve patient education on assisted reproductive technology (ART) success rates.
