Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Health Economics

Context:

  • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population, necessitating effective treatment options.
  • Tubal surgery has been a traditional approach for certain types of infertility.

Purpose:

  • To compare the medical outcomes and financial costs of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) against tubal surgery.
  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of IVF as an infertility treatment.

Summary:

  • In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is established as a standard infertility treatment.
  • The cost-effectiveness of IVF per achieved full-term pregnancy is comparable to tubal surgery, around Dfl. 25,000.-.
  • Both IVF and tubal surgery demonstrate considerable utilization rates.

Impact:

  • IVF's cost-effectiveness supports its role as a regular infertility treatment.
  • Despite not being universally covered by social insurance, IVF is reimbursed through special arrangements.
  • This comparison provides crucial data for healthcare policy and patient decision-making regarding infertility treatments.
