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

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).
