| Popis: | Objectives To determine if the total motile sperm count is predictive of IUI success and to apply life-table analysis to a large database of IUI procedures. Design Contingency table and life-table analyses were used to analyze a large group of couples (n = 546) undergoing 1,205 cycles of therapeutic IUI with husband’s sperm. Setting Clinical infertility practice at a medical school referral center. Patients Five hundred forty-six couples with varying etiologies of infertility. Results There was a trend toward an increasing percentage of conception with increasing total motile sperm count. Significance was reached when the total motile sperm count used for IUI exceeded 20 × 106. The cumulative pregnancy rate calculated from this data reached 52% after the sixth attempted cycle of IUI. |
