Key Points

This research aims to investigate the association between ethnic background and the initiation of ART treatment among women in Denmark.
National register-based study using Danish IVF Register data from 1994 to 2017.
Sample included 676,355 women aged 18-45 with ethnic background categorized as Danish, immigrant, or descendants of immigrants.
Logistic regression analyses used to compare the probability of initiating ART treatment across ethnic groups.
11% of Danish women initiated ART treatment, compared to 5% of immigrants and 9% of descendants.
Immigrants had 56% lower odds of receiving ART treatment (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.43-0.45) compared to Danish-origin women.
Descendants had 22% lower odds of receiving ART treatment (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.72-0.84).
