Abbreviations: ART = assisted reproductive technology; FT = full term; PTB = preterm birth; SGA = small for gestational age.

* ART totals include infants conceived from ART procedures performed in 2015 and born in 2016 and infants conceived from ART procedures performed in 2016 and born in 2016. Total ART births exclude births to nonresidents and includes only infants with gestational age data available.

In cases of missing residency data (0.4 %), the patient's residence was assigned as the location in which the ART procedure was performed.

§ U.S. births include births to nonresidents. Source: Martin JA, Hamilton BE, Osterman MJ, Driscoll AK, Mathews TJ. Births: final data for 2016. Natl Vital Stat Rep 2018;67:1–55.

To protect confidentiality, cells with values of 1–4 for ART infants and cells with values of 0–9 for all infants are suppressed. Also suppressed are data that can be used to derive suppressed cell values. These values are included in the totals.

** Estimates on the basis of N = <20 in the denominator have been suppressed because such rates are considered unstable.
