DATA MINING: INVESTIGATING IVF MODELS
Why IVF? • 9% of married couples in the US are medically infertile (age 15-44) = 2.3 million couples. • An additional 19% of couples have impaired ability to have children. • Total = ~7.2 million couples From 1998 National report from Center for Disease Control

Concerns: • Less than 20% of cycles result in single pregnancy.
Concerns: • Usually many embryos are transferred.
Concerns: • Some result in multiple births.
Concerns: • How to predict individual patient results.
The Data: • 12 months of statistics from 678 cycles. • Over 100 attributes for each record.
The Data: • Procedural includes info on drug protocols, #oocytes, #blasts, embryo transfer, trauma and other cycle specific data.
The Data: • Patient info includes patient specific data such as diagnosis, BMI, and age.
The Data: • Technology information includes incubators, doctors, ICSItech, and catheter type among others. ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
Data Mining: • A cyclical procedure.
Data Understanding & Cleaning: • # > or = 6 Cell • Diagnoses • Day of Embryo Transfer
