Breaking down SART outcomes
Success rates are one of the most common ways fertility clinics are compared—but what do the numbers actually mean?
In this episode of The Egg Factor, CHR’s Medical Director Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Associate Medical Director Dr. David Barad break down the latest SART (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology) outcome data.
Together, they unpack:
- How SART collects and reports IVF outcomes across U.S. clinics
- Why success rates can be misleading—especially for patients over 40 or those with diminished ovarian reserve
- The unintended consequences of “competing by numbers,” including why some clinics turn away challenging cases to keep their stats high
- CHR’s unique approach, and why they accept patients other clinics often won’t
At CHR, we believe patients deserve more than statistics—they deserve honesty, context, and individualized care. Tune in as Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad explain how to read between the lines of success rate data, and what really matters when choosing a fertility clinic.
