Note: n = number of cases per analysis. a = rapid progressive motility (forward), b = slow progressive motility (curved), c = nonprogressive motility (circles), and d = dead or not moving. SMI = sperm motility index; SD = standard deviation. aMillions/ml. bMotility is subdivided into four categories. cSMI is an index such that higher scores reflect higher overall quality of sperm motility.
