Prognostic value of two putative sperm function tests: Hypo-osmotic swelling and bovine sperm mucus penetration test (Penetrak)

Abstract

The clinical value of two inexpensive and easy to perform sperm function tests (hypo-osmotic swelling and bovine sperm mucus penetration tests) were examined in a prospective study of in-vivo conception rates in 325 couples. Both tests were of no significant value alone or in combination with traditional semen characteristics in predicting pregnancy outcome. The two most predictive factors of conception were the length of infertility and percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa. Our data support the further investigation of sperm function using more sophisticated quantitative tests, specifically the examination of sperm motility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
