Objective

To determine whether racial and ethnic distributions of oocyte donors contributing to US oocyte banks differ from the demographics of US women and donor oocyte recipients.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

United States donor oocyte banks, US census, and fertility clinics reporting to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System.

Patients

Oocyte donors from 12 banks, women aged 18–44 years based on the 2019 census, and US recipients of cryopreserved donor oocytes from 2012 to 2015.

Intervention

None.

Main Outcome Measure

Proportions of donors identifying as each racial and ethnic group.

Results

Of the 1,574 oocyte donors, 678 (43.1%) identified as white compared with 54.8% of US women and 69.1% of donor oocyte recipients. Proportions of donors identifying as Hispanic or two or more races were larger than those of US women and donor oocyte recipients (Hispanic: 24.1% vs. 20.8%, and 24.1% vs. 8.8%, respectively; two or more races: 16.1% vs. 2.3%, and 16.1% vs. 0.5%, respectively). African American donors were underrepresented compared with US women (8.9% vs. 14.0%) and oocyte recipients (8.9% vs. 10.8%). Although the proportion of Asian donors was similar to that of US women (7.7% vs. 7.1%), Asian donors were underrepresented compared with donor oocyte recipients (7.7% vs. 10.6%).

Conclusion

Racial and ethnic distribution of oocyte donors differs significantly from the demographics of US women and cryopreserved donor oocyte recipients. These data suggest a need for targeted recruitment of African American and Asian oocyte donors.

美国供体卵母细胞库的种族和民族差异

客观的

确定捐献给美国卵母细胞库的卵母细胞捐献者的种族和民族分布是否与美国女性和卵母细胞捐献者的人口统计数据不同。

设计

横断面研究。

环境

美国捐助者卵母细胞库、美国人口普查和生育诊所向辅助生殖技术协会诊所结果报告系统报告。

患者

来自 12 家银行的卵母细胞捐献者，根据 2019 年人口普查年龄在 18-44 岁的女性，以及 2012 年至 2015 年冷冻保存的捐献卵母细胞的美国接受者。

干涉

没有任何。

主要指标

确定为每个种族和族裔群体的捐助者的比例。

结果

在 1,574 名卵母细胞捐献者中，678 名 (43.1%) 被确定为白人，而美国女性的这一比例为 54.8%，卵母细胞捐献者的这一比例为 69.1%。确定为西班牙裔或两个或更多种族的捐赠者比例大于美国女性和捐赠卵母细胞接受者（西班牙裔：分别为 24.1% 对 20.8% 和 24.1% 对 8.8%；两个或更多种族：16.1% 对. 2.3% 和 16.1% 对 0.5%）。与美国女性（8.9% 对 14.0%）和卵母细胞接受者（8.9% 对 10.8%）相比，非洲裔美国捐助者的代表性不足。尽管亚洲捐赠者的比例与美国女性相似（7.7% 对 7.1%），但与捐赠卵母细胞接受者相比，亚洲捐赠者的代表性不足（7.7% 对 10.6%）。

结论

卵母细胞捐赠者的种族和民族分布与美国女性和冷冻保存的捐赠卵母细胞接受者的人口统计数据有显着差异。这些数据表明需要有针对性地招募非洲裔美国人和亚洲卵母细胞捐献者。
