For 597 couples receiving care at an infertility clinic in Nova Scotia, the average cost of diagnosis and treatment per successful pregnancy is $10,700. This is compared to the costs of alternatives to infertility treatment. Adoption costs generally range from $3,000 to $10,000, and surrogate mother arrangements are much higher (around $20,000). This study demonstrates the feasibility and value of a systematic analysis of the costs of infertility.
对于在新斯科舍省一家不孕不育诊所接受治疗的597对夫妇而言,每成功怀孕一次的诊断和治疗平均费用为10,700美元。这与不孕不育治疗的替代方案成本形成对比。领养成本通常在3,000美元至10,000美元之间,而代孕安排的成本则要高得多(约20,000美元)。这项研究证明了对不孕不育成本进行系统分析的可行性和价值。
