Publications

The list below includes ART–related journal publications from 1993 to present, including MMWRs, authored by CDC's Division of Reproductive Health. These publications are only a few of the scientific and technical materials available.

We recommend that you review abstracts of our reports and other publications by using the resources of the National Library of Medicine's PubMed service. PubMed is a searchable database that provides abstracts of biomedical articles and reports. You may also be able to obtain full text articles (some services may require subscriptions to view full text articles). If you are seeking less technical information, please use the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus, which offers a wide range of information on diseases, disorders, treatments, drugs, and preventive services.

ART Surveillance Summaries

The ART Surveillance Summary presents state-specific data on ART use and birth outcomes for all U.S states and territories. Detailed information on rates of preterm birth and low birth weight are presented for infants conceived with ART as well as for overall U.S. births. Additionally, state-specific data on determinants of multiple gestations (such as number of embryos transferred) and the prevalence of elective single embryo transfers are presented for women who undergo ART procedures.
