Neighborhood deprivation and racial differences in in vitro fertilization outcomes.

Background: There are significant racial disparities in in vitro fertilization outcomes, which are poorly explained by individual-level characteristics. Environmental factors such as neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors may contribute to these disparities. However, few studies have directly addressed this research question in a large, racially diverse cohort.

REI clinics and fellowship training-a national snapshot to improve access to reproductive care.

Purpose: To analyze the geographic distribution of REI fellowships and clinics across the USA and to strategize ways to improve patient access to care.

Methods: Cross-sectional study using population data obtained from publicly available United States Census Bureau, Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), and National Resident Matching Program websites. Outcomes include the number of REI clinics, REI fellowship-trained physicians, and REI fellowship programs.

Factors associated with a positive experience at US fertility clinics: the male partner perspective.

Objective: To determine factors associated with a positive male patient experience (PMPE) at fertility clinics among male patients.

Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Not applicable Patients: Male respondents to the FertilityIQ questionnaire ( www.fertilityiq.

Referral Patterns for Infertile Men: Predictors of Continued Treatment by Reproductive Endocrinologist versus Referral to a Nearby Urologist.

Introduction: We evaluated fertility clinic management of male factor infertility, including patient education and referral for urological evaluation and care.

Methods: Using 2015-2018 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Fertility Clinic Success Rates Reports, 480 operative fertility clinics in the United States were identified. Clinic websites were systematically reviewed for content regarding male infertility.

Recurrence risk and risk factors for monozygotic twin and triplet birth in over 65,000 single-embryo transfers.

Purpose: To determine the recurrence risk and risk factors for monozygotic splitting after elective single-embryo transfers (eSET).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed investigating 65,664 eSET cycles that resulted in a clinical pregnancy as reported in the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) Clinical Outcomes Reporting System (CORS) between 2004 and 2017. Monozygosity was defined as more than one fetal heart tone by the first-trimester ultrasound and concordant sex at live birth.

Physical intimate partner violence among women reporting prior fertility treatment: a survey of U.S. postpartum women.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) among postpartum women reporting preconception fertility treatment compared with those who conceived without the use of assisted reproduction.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional population-based study.
