Correlation of Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index With Semen Parameters, Lifestyle and Clinical Pregnancy Outcome After Intracytoplasmic Injection.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the correlation of sperm DNA fragmentation with semen parameters, lifestyle, and fertility outcomes after intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI).

Materials And Methods: The partners who were candidates for ICSI with a history of one In vitro fertilization (IVF) failure or male factor were recruited in the study. Semen parameters including sperm count, motility, and morphology as well as DNA fragmentation index (DFI) (that were divided into 2 groups as high (>15%), and low (≤15%) fragmentation scales) were evaluated either.
