ART utilization: an indicator of access to infertility care
Open accessAbstract
This commentary outlines the importance of utilizing assisted reproductive technology (ART) as an indicator of access to infertility care and provides a standard way of reporting utilization to facilitate international comparisons. Factors that influence ART utilization as well as underlying inequalities and inequities in access to care are discussed. The relevance of a marker that can inform and evaluate policy initiatives, monitor progress and document change is emphasized.

The actual and perceived quality of treatment based on a scientific approach, its medically appropriate use, and quality of service impacts utilization.
“Finally, the actual and perceived quality of treatment based on a scientific approach, its medically appropriate use, and quality of service impacts utilization (Dyer et al., 2020).”

The Healthcare Utilization section treats quality as a dimension of access and says that meeting access criteria is reasonably expected to improve people's ability to use care. It does not specify actual versus perceived treatment quality, a scientific approach, medically appropriate use, or service quality as distinct influences on utilization.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAccess to fertility care has multiple dimensions (availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality) and does not comprise a single, measurable entity.
“Access to fertility care, as with healthcare in general, has multiple dimensions (availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality) and does not comprise a single, measurable entity (Dyer et al., 2020).”

It is essential to compare similar metrics when assessing ART utilization.
“It is essential to compare similar metrics when assessing utilization (Adashi and Dean, 2016; Dyer et al., 2020; Kawwass et al., 2021; Beroukhim et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
