The Act defines ART as all treatments and procedures that include the handling of human oocytes and sperm or embryos for the purpose of establishing a pregnancy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeks to extend approval of a reporting system for the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Program from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a period of 3 years. The reporting system includes all ART cycles initiated by any of the approximately 400 ART programs in the United States, and covers the pregnancy outcome of each cycle as well as a number of data items deemed important to explain variability in success rates across ART programs and across individuals. An ART cycle is started when a woman begins taking medication to stimulate the ovaries to develop eggs or starts ovarian monitoring with the intent of having embryos transferred. Data will be collected through a Web-based data collection system, developed by Westat in consultation with CDC, that complies with FCSRCA requirements. In developing the definition of pregnancy success rates and the list of data items to be reported, CDC has consulted with representatives of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association (a national, nonprofit consumer organization), as well as a variety of individuals with expertise and interest in this field.
