Assisted reproductive technology in Australia and New Zealand 2009

• In 2009, there were 70,541 assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycles undertaken in Australian and New Zealand.
• Of these cycles, 17.2% resulted in a live delivery (the birth of at least one liveborn baby). In total, 13,114 liveborn babies were born following ART treatment in 2009.
• The most important trend in ART treatment has been the increase of single embryo transfer, from 48.3% in 2005 to 69.7% in 2009.
• This trend has resulted in significant reduction of multiple delivery rate from 14.1% in 2005 to 8.2% in 2009.
