Abstract
Black and Hispanic ethnicities are under-represented in the population of treated infertility patients in the United States despite having a higher prevalence and longer duration of infertility. Studies also demonstrate that these women have poorer infertility treatment outcomes. Published models for predicting success of IVF and ovulation induction do not include race or ethnicity as a component of their models. The purpose of this study was to compare the percentage of patients per race/ethnicity group in the most-cited reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) studies with the most-cited studies in other obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) subspecialties (gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, and maternal fetal medicine) Our hypothesis is that minority race/ethnic groups will be under-represented in the REI studies compared to the other OBGYN subspecialties (OBGYNS).
