The state, district, or territory indicates the place of patient residency; in cases of missing residency data (4%), we used the place in which the assisted-reproductive-technology procedure was performed; states or territories with fewer than 100 infants conceived through assisted reproductive technology were included in the category for other states and territories. Data on all infants and preterm infants conceived through assisted reproductive technology are from Sunderam et al.3 Calculations of societal economic burden were based on an assumption of an average burden of $51,600 ($61,718 in 2013 U.S. dollars) per infant born preterm, in accordance with calculations from the Institute of Medicine.4
