Semen Quality
Patients | TDF | TAF | P Value |
---|---|---|---|
Sperm concentration, x106 per mL | 33.6 (1.1–144.1) | 31.9 (7.1–82.9) | .152 |
Progressive motility, rapid progression + slow progression, % | 8.3 (1.8–58.1) | 23.3 (2.2–53.6) | .019 |
Vitality, live spermatozoa, % | 61.5 (13–81) | 66 (48–85) | .230 |
Sperm morphology, normal forms, % | 5 (2–16) | 3 (2.5–6) | .049 |
Lower reference limits (fifth percentiles and 95% confidence intervals) for semen characteristics [19] are: sperm concentration (x106 per mL), 15 (12–16); progressive motility (%), 32 (31–34); vitality (live spermatozoa, %), 58 (55–63); and sperm morphology (normal forms, %), 4 (3–4).
