"...there is a real need in Medicine to try and replace general statements such as "high risk" and "good chance" with well validated, quantitative estimates of probability, such as we have with Down's syndrome screening. This model for predicting the outcome of IVF has exploited a valuable collection of routinely collected data, applies sophisticated statistical modelling and the output provides women considering IVF with an understandable and quantitative estimate of their chances of success. Its a great resource.... "Professor Gordon Smith,
Cambridge University

"...There is real value in this exercise.  Patients can analyse their individual chances of success using the best data available – with the security of knowing the data derive from a vast and comprehensive database.  The analyses take into account the most relevant information and provide a strong tool for prediction of chances of live birth. Some clinics may consider that they perform better than the predictions indicate, but in reality most clinics success rates are consistent with the UK average (HFEA data), and therefore the predictions will apply to the overwhelming majority of patients, and clinics...."Professor Richard Fleming,
