With the success rate of (IVF) in test tube babies rising, Australia now has one out of every 25 newborns.
According to the Daily Mail, more than 13,500 Australian-born test tube babies were born in Australia in fiscal year 2016-2017, according to the latest report from the Australian Fertility Association (Fertility Society of Australia). This is due to the significant development of test tube infant technology, to a large extent, also depends on the age of the mother.
More and more 40-year-olds and older choose to have a test tube baby, and the success rate has risen significantly by 13%.
The survival rate of each embryo transfer in 20 generations of women was 36.9%, while that of frozen eggs was 33.3%. The survival rate of fresh embryo transfer and frozen embryo transfer in women aged 40 to 44 was 9.5% and 18.6%, respectively. The survival rates of fresh embryo transplantation and frozen embryo transfer were 1.3% and 11.8% for women over 44 years old, respectively.
The incidence of complications, such as abortion and preterm delivery, also decreased significantly.
More test-tube babies than fresh embryos have been transferred through frozen embryos, nearly 60 percent, according to 2016 data.
The success rate of test tube infants can be subdivided into 4 categories: initiation cycle, clinical pregnancy, embryo transfer and live birth.
According to data from Australia and New Zealand in 2016, there were 81062 start-up cycles, 66664 embryo transplants, 18269 clinical pregnancies and 14515 live births.
Professor (Professor Michael Chapman), head of the Australian Fertility Association, said: "when I started working in this industry 35 years ago, tube baby technology was still in the experimental stage. Now, this has become a standard medical treatment. The data confirm that Australia is the world leader in test tube technology and the lowest multiple pregnancy rate in the world, "(Hannah) said.
