Per-transfer success rate

The chance of a live birth from each embryo transfer, not each cycle.

Regulation

Clinics and ANZARD report outcomes in different ways: per egg collection, per embryo transfer, or cumulatively across all transfers from one collection. Per-transfer figures usually look higher because cycles that never reached transfer are excluded. Compare like with like, and check the age group the figure describes.

Also known as: live birth per transfer, success rates, clinic statistics
