Abstract
A computerized infertility data registry form was developed in order to facilitate the storage of a large amount of reproductive data to allow subsequent analyses pertinent to the management of the infertile couple. This abstract form of the patients'' medical records was readily applied to computer analysis using the SPSS reporting system. The abstract can be utilized both for the facilitation of patient management and as a means for obtaining a standardized, objective, retrospective review of clinical data. Through the evaluation and standardization of the therapeutic techniques frequently utilized by physicians, the treatment of infertile couples should be improved. Such an approach is essential for anyone involved in today''s health care system.
