Objective: To compare the cost-effectiveness of embryo donation (ED) to that of oocyte donation (OD). Design: Calculation of cost-effectiveness ratios (costs per outcome achieved) using data derived from clinical practices. Setting: In vitro fertilization centers and embryo donation programs. Patient(s): Infertile couples undergoing oocyte donation or embryo donation. Intervention(s): Oocyte donation or embryo donation cycles. Main Outcome Measure(s): Cost-effectiveness ratios. Result(s): For a single cycle, ED is approximately twice as cost-effective as OD, with a cost-effectiveness ratio of $21,990 per live delivery compared to $40,600. When strategies of up to three cycles (to achieve one live delivery) are used, ED costs $13,505 per live delivery compared to $31,349 for OD. Conclusion(s): Cost-effectiveness is a compelling reason for infertile couples to consider embryo donation.
