Table 2.
Semen Analysis and SCSA Outcomes. Shows the outcomes after semen analysis and sperm chromatin structure analysis on semen samples from our cohort of 209 human male subjects presenting with their partners to an infertility clinic in the American Midwest. The mean, minimums, maximums, and standard deviations were calculated in SAS 9.14
