The in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, including clinical intrauterine gestation rate and live birth rate, between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women were compared, and there were no differences. Hispanics were more likely to have a diagnosis of tubal factor infertility, whereas non-Hispanic white women were more likely to have endometriosis as their infertility diagnosis.
