Filter by:We will examine trends in ART use in BC specifically. The use of ART has drastically changed the management of infertility, with worldwide estimates exceeding 1.8 million ART cycles in 2010 alone. Moreover, an excess of six million children have been conceived using ART. Although various countries have published their live birth rates associated with common ART treatment strategies, British Columbia has yet report on its rates. With varying differences in ART practices, whether clinical or laboratory, one would expect live birth rates due to ART to vary depending on region analyzed. Analyzing the live birth rate in BC would not only allow for a benchmark for assessing future improvement, and trends in infertility diagnosis and management, but also allow for comparison to other provinces and countries. The aim of this part of the study is to describe ART cycle contribution to live birth rate in BC from April 2008 to March 2018, which has not been addressed in the literature as of yet. Not only will it give healthcare providers and patients information about this emerging approach to infertility but also provide a impetus for healthy policy makers to adopt a model for partially or fully publicly funded ART, as seen in Ontario and soon Quebec.
