aNo information about birth in 3 couples, 1 couple had an abortion. bNo information about birth in 1 couple. CPR: clinical pregnancy rate; ET: embryo transfer; ICSI: intracytoplasmic sperm injection; T-ICSI: ICSI using testicular sperm; Ej-ICSI: ICSI cycle using ejaculated sperm; s.d.: standard deviation; SDF: sperm DNA fragmentation
