What the CDC NASS Data Shows for Tennessee

Clinic-to-clinic variation is wide - 18.5 percentage points separate the top and bottom performers, often reflecting differences in patient selection, complexity, and donor-egg volume. Methodology & how to compare clinics →
State-level figures aggregate every CDC-reporting clinic within the state's borders, so a single high-volume practice can pull the statewide average up or down. Patient demographics differ from state to state as well, areas with younger patient populations or broader insurance mandates for fertility treatment tend to show higher reported live-birth rates, while states whose clinics treat more complex or older patients may post lower averages that reflect case mix rather than care quality. Because the CDC reports outcomes per intended egg retrieval, the numbers already account for cycles that did not reach transfer, which makes them more conservative than the pregnancy rates clinics sometimes advertise. When comparing clinics within a state, weigh both the success rate and the cycle volume: a rate built on several hundred cycles is far more stable than one drawn from a handful, and always confirm current services and protocols directly with a clinic before making treatment decisions.
