The percentage of residents age 15 to 55 receiving at least one diagnosis of Infertility (ICD-9-CM code 606 for males, 628 for females) during ambulatory visits to physicians over a five year period. It is expressed as a percentage because each resident is defined either as having been treated for Infertility, or not, in that period. Values are adjusted to reflect the total population of Manitoba.
