Table 4. Odds ratio for SDF levels in study groups.
Level of SDF (%) | Men with ≥4% morphologically normal sperm cells, N (%) | Men with <4% morphologically normal sperm cells, N (%) | OR (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|
0–15 | 133 (58.60) | 68 (22.97) | 0.2175 (0.1493–0.3170)** |
16–30 | 83 (36.56) | 131 (44.26) | 1.3774 (0.9664–1.9632) |
>30 | 11 (4.84) | 97 (32.77) | 9.5715 (4.9836–18.3829)** |
**, highly significant difference between compared groups at P<0.0001. Chi2 test. 95% CI, 95% confidential interval; N, number of subjects; OR, odds ratio; SDF, sperm DNA fragmentation.
