Partner Ethnicity and Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite significant advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), disparities in clinical outcomes persist. While patient-related factors are well-studied, the role of partner ethnicity remains understudied. We hypothesized that partner ethnicity affects ART outcomes. This study examined the association between partner ethnicity and ART outcomes.
