چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate how the ranking of IVF programs changes if high-order multiple pregnancies (HOMPs) are considered negative outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING The 2004 Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System. PATIENT(S) Two hundred seven programs that performed >50 IVF cycles were analyzed, and only patients 2.4 embryos decreased, as opposed to the programs that transferred fewer embryos (1.8-2.4). CONCLUSION(S) Reclassifying HOMPs as failed cycles will result in a reduced rank in programs that maintain high embryo replacements. Redefining success as a singleton or twin birth significantly changes the ranking order of programs and, potentially, how programs are perceived.
