Legal framework and IVF outcomes: a comparative analysis of fresh and frozen embryo transfers in Switzerland
The change in national legislation provided the unique opportunity to evaluate the legal impact on reproductive outcomes. Besides a reduction in the number of multiple births, LBR in frozen embryo transfers improved, resulting in comparable success of fresh and frozen embryo transfer strategies. In addition to technological improvement, the legal framework influences the evolution of clinical practice, thereby contributing to enhanced reproductive outcomes.
