Summary
The 20th ESHRE report indicates a rise in European fertility treatments. Fewer embryos are transferred, reducing multiple births, while frozen embryo replacement shows improved success rates.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive medicine and assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
- Analysis of large-scale European data on fertility treatments and outcomes.
Background:
- Since 1997, the European IVF-monitoring Consortium (EIM) has collected and analyzed ART data for ESHRE.
- This report presents data from 40 European countries for treatments performed in 2016.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report on cycles in ART, IUI, and fertility preservation (FP) interventions in 2016.
- To compare 2016 data with previous years and identify key trends.
Main Methods:
- Data collected from 1347 clinics across 40 European countries for ART (IVF, ICSI, FER, etc.).
- Data from 1197 institutions for intrauterine insemination (IUI-H and IUI-D).
- Included 13,689 fertility preservation interventions across 11 countries.
Main Results:
- Total of 918,159 ART cycles reported, with IVF, ICSI, and FER being most common.
- Pregnancy rates for IVF and ICSI remained stable; FER showed increasing pregnancy rates.
- Trend towards single embryo transfer continued, reducing multiple delivery rates; IUI outcomes remained stable.
Conclusions:
- European fertility treatment numbers and livebirths continue to increase.
- Frozen embryo replacement (FER) demonstrates higher success rates compared to fresh cycles.
- Data collection completeness varies, necessitating cautious interpretation; ongoing efforts aim to improve data quality.
