Depiction of ROC curves of serum FSH can discriminate between successful or failed sperm retrieval. Depiction of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can discriminate between successful or failed sperm retrieval. The area under the ROC curves was 0.939 ± 0.02 (with a 95% confidence interval for the area being between 0.891 and 0.986). A FSH cut-off point of 13.7 mIU/mL discriminated between groups A and B with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 87.0%. When the cut-off point was increased to 19.4 mIU/mL, the sensitivity of FSH level was 70% and the specificity was 100%. Arrows indicate the cut-off point for serum FSH 19.4 mIU/mL.
