Abstract

There is a growing interest in the racial and ethnicity disparities in assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In this chapter, we systematically review the current literatures of assisted reproductive outcomes in Hispanic patients. Limited studies have been conducted on this topic because of the complex nature of this study. We discussed the strengths and limitations of these studies. Also, PCOS in Hispanic patients has been discussed given the genetic disposition in the population.
