Predictive value of normal sperm morphology in intrauterine insemination (IUI): a structured literature review

Predictive value of normal sperm morphology in intrauterine insemination (IUI): a structured literature review.

The aim of the study was to conduct a structured review of the literature published on the use of normal sperm morphology, as an indicator of male fertility potential in intrauterine insemination (IUI) programmes. Published literature in which normal sperm morphology was used to predict pregnancy outcome in IUI during the period 1984-1998 was reviewed. In total, 421 articles were identified via...

Predictive value of normal sperm morphology: a structured literature review.

The aim of the study was to conduct a structured review of the literature published on the use of normal sperm morphology, as an indicator of male fertility potential in the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) situation, and to establish the universal predictive value of this semen parameter. Published literature in which normal sperm morphology was used to predict fertilization and pregnancy, during ...

Predictive factors for pregnancy after intrauterine insemination (IUI): an analysis of 1038 cycles and a review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE To determine the predictive factors for pregnancy after IUI. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING A single university medical center. PATIENT(S) One thousand thirty-eight IUI cycles in 353 couples were studied between 2002 and 2005. INTERVENTION(S) Ovarian stimulation via SC injection of FSH or hMG was performed daily; IUI was then performed 36 hours after triggering ovulation ...

The Influence of Sperm Morphology, Total Motile Sperm Count of Semen and the Number of Motile Sperm Inseminated in Sperm Samples on the Success of Intrauterine Insemination

Intrauterine insemination after ovarian stimulation with clomiphene citrate: predictive potential of inseminating motile count and sperm morphology.

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the inseminating motile count (IMC) and sperm morphology (using strict criteria) on success rates after homologous intrauterine insemination (IUI) combined with clomiphene citrate (CC) stimulation. A total of 373 couples underwent 792 IUI cycles in a predominantly (87.4%) male subfertility group. The overall cycle fecundity (CF)...
