The study, Assisted Reproductive Technology and Major Structural Birth Defects, United States, was published in the journal Human Reproduction.

ART has been used in the United States since 1981, and the number of infants born after ART doubled from 1996 through 2004. In 2002, almost 12 percent of U.S. women ages 15 to 44 reported using infertility services. In 2005, more than 134,000 ART procedures were performed in the United States, resulting in the birth of about 52,000 babies, the CDC said.
