Part Part 4 - IVF Success Rates - Australian IVF Statistics (ANZARD Report)
The success rates of in vitro fertilisation treatments can vary depending on various factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, the clinic’s expertise, and the specific treatment protocols used. It’s important to note that success rates can vary between different clinics and regions.
The most recent data on IVF success rates in Australia can be obtained from the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD), which is managed by the Fertility Society of Australia. ANZARD collects and publishes data from fertility clinics across Australia, providing valuable insights into success rates.
“For example, in women aged 35-39, the live birth rate per cycle started has increased from 19% to 23%, representing a 20% relative increase in success rates,” says Professor Georgina Chambers, the lead author of UNSW’s Assisted Reproductive Technology in Australia and New Zealand 2019.
“And in those aged 40-44, the live birth rate has increased to 10%, representing a 27% increase in success rates over the last 10 years.”
The ANZARD report is funded by the Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) and contains data from all 95 IVF clinics operating in the two countries.
Success rates can vary based on factors such as the number and quality of embryos transferred, the woman’s overall health, specific treatment protocols, the experience and expertise of the fertility clinic and its staff, and individual patient characteristics.Therefore, it’s essential to have a thorough discussion with a fertility specialist to assess your specific situation and understand the potential success rates and treatment options tailored to your needs.
