Table 5.

Subgroup analysis for intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in testicular (intracytoplasmic sperm injection using testicular sperm) group and ejaculate (intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle using ejaculated sperm-high sperm DNA fragmentation) group (second control) in patients with (percent sperm DNA fragmentation index <30%) and (percent sperm DNA fragmentation index ≥30%)

Parameter %DFI <30% %DFI ≥30%
