Almost 90 percent of in-vitro fertilization clinics fail to report complete outcome information as they are required to do by the Society For Assisted Reproductive Technology. This according to a unpublished Brown University study presented to the IVF scientific meetings last October.
The researchers reviewed 361 IVF clinic websites looking for advertising policy adherence. One-third of the sites violated the rule prohibiting success rate reporting and half fail to publish up-to-date data. Only 46% linked to the Society’s comprehensive database as they are required to do.
It’s apparent that better society monitoring is needed to protect unsuspecting infertile couples desperate for a child. Meanwhile, buyer beware!
