2. Figure 1
Box plot illustration of the significant correlations of the individual sperm parameters, percent DNA fragmentation index (DFI) with good fertilization rate in IVF, percent high DNA stainability (HDS) with pregnancy rate in IVF and sperm concentration and pregnancy rate in a combined IVF/ICSI cycle. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. (a) IVF: percent DFI is significantly related to good fertilization rates in IVF (n=74, P=0.04). (b) IVF: percent HDS is significantly related to pregnancy rate (n=74, P=0.04). (c) In combined IVF/ICSI sperm concentration is significantly related to pregnancy rate (n=37, P=0.03).
