The figure demonstrates that autologous non-donor live birth rates in most regions of the world stagnated or fell during the study period. The most obvious decline occurred in Japan loosing approximately two-third of live births. Canada also demonstrated a significant drop, while Australia and New Zealand gradually lost approximately 25% of live births [Modified with permission from Kushnir et al.,2017 (1) and Gleicher et al., 2019 (2)].
