Listed alphabetically, not ranked. Each rate is the CDC-reported percentage of intended egg retrievals that resulted in a live-birth delivery for patients using their own eggs (2022), with the number of intended retrievals behind it. 1 clinic is marked “small sample”: the under-35 figure rests on fewer than 20 intended retrievals, so the CDC prints it as a fraction.
Why these numbers do not rank clinics. The CDC says that “comparisons between clinics should be made with caution. Clinics may have different rates because they have different patient populations or ART treatment methods.” Small samples swing widely: the CDC notes that if a clinic reports only one ART cycle in a given category, its success rate in that category “would be either 0% or 100%.” Clinics also treat different patients (age within a band, diagnoses, how many patients with a poor prognosis they accept), and those differences move a rate as much as the care does. Use the table to see who reports what, and on how many cycles, then ask each clinic about patients like you. Source: CDC, How to Interpret ART Success Rates.
