live birth rate
The live birth rate refers to the percentage of pregnancies that result in a baby being born alive after a specific medical procedure, such as fertility treatments like IVF. It helps measure how successful a treatment is in producing a healthy, live baby. For example, if 100 women undergo a procedure and 30 have a live baby, the live birth rate is 30%. This rate can vary depending on age, health, and other factors, providing helpful insight into the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy through medical intervention.
