The focus of this article is to review the definition of success following in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Pregnancy rates after IVF have been increasing, but the problem of multiple births with its associated morbidity and mortality has been considerable. This has led to rethinking of assisted reproductive technology (ART) success not only in terms of live birth rates, but also in terms of reduction of multiple births to singleton babies. Single embryo transfer using blastocysts and such other measures are being encouraged. Financial factors and patient satisfaction are key issues. IVF success is thus being redefined.
本文的重点是回顾体外受精 (IVF) 治疗后的成功定义。IVF 后的妊娠率一直在上升，但多胎妊娠及其相关发病率和死亡率的问题仍然相当严重。这导致人们重新思考辅助生殖技术 (ART) 的成功不仅要考虑活产率，还要考虑减少多胎妊娠至单胎婴儿。人们鼓励使用囊胚进行单胚胎移植和采取其他此类措施。财务因素和患者满意度是关键问题。因此，IVF 的成功正在被重新定义。
