This commentary adds accuracy and interesting information to the story of the founding pioneers of IVF which was published in this journal in 2018, at the 40 anniversary of the first IVF livebirth, namely Louise Joy Brown born 25 July 1978. Table 1 in that first publication is now updated to reflect extended information about Team 1 comprising the acknowledged "Fathers of IVF", but whose work is better tabulated as Team 1a from the NHS days in Oldham; and Team 1b covering the new period of private practice at Bourn Hall in Cambridge. With the passing of pioneer Ian Craft, co-author of the first article, further information came to light at his memorial service. There has now been some adjustment to the last few months of 1982, with correct inclusion of Israel into the list along with an interesting exposé of the two major pioneer facilities of that country. The previously cited third Australian groups (Team 12) have now been appropriately relegated to 1983, a year which experienced a plethora of IVF facilities around the world and the beginning of the IVF population boom.
这篇评论为该杂志 2018 年发表的、讲述首例 IVF 活产诞生 40 周年的故事增添了准确性和有趣的信息，首例 IVF 活产是 1978 年 7 月 25 日出生的路易丝·乔伊·布朗。该首次发表的文章中的表 1 现在进行了更新，以反映关于第 1 组的扩展信息，该组由公认的“试管婴儿之父”组成，但他们的工作在奥尔德姆 NHS 时代更好地归入第 1a 组；而第 1b 组涵盖了剑桥伯恩霍尔私人执业的新时期。随着先驱伊恩·克拉夫特的去世，他是第一篇文章的合著者，在他的追悼会上有更多的信息曝光。现在对 1982 年的最后几个月进行了一些调整，正确地将以色列列入名单，并有趣地揭露了该国的两个主要先驱设施。之前引用的第三个澳大利亚小组（第 12 组）现在被恰当地归入 1983 年，这一年全球有大量的 IVF 设施，IVF 人口开始激增。
