NOTE: ESHRE data collection is based on the year of treatment and it only includes countries with complete data available. In ESHRE data babies born after assisted conception include children born as a result of IVF (In Vitro fertilisation), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection), FET (Frozen embryo transfer) procedures with own gametes and ED (egg donation). Total rate for babies born after assisted conception as a percentage of all national births (%) is given only for countries where all data were reported. Euro-Peristat data from Cyprus are from 2007.
