Total Motile Sperm Count

Introduction: The unrestricted use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for non-male factor infertility is associated with adverse outcomes. Post-wash total motile sperm count (PW-TMSC) offers prognostic value to assess sperm quality and aid in the decision to perform in vitro fertilization (IVF) or ICSI. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of PW-TMSC on fertilization rates in patients undergoing IVF cycles exclusively with non-male factor infertility. It also aimed to identify whether unnecessary ICSI could be avoided in such cases, thus maximizing optimal outcomes. Materials & Methods: We retrospectively analyzed age, semen volume, prewash TMSC, and PW-TMSC in 68 conventional IVF cycles of infertile couples with non-male factor infertility. Clinical characteristics including female age, number of follicles, level of estradiol on trigger day, mature cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) collected, were also included. Results: Incidence of <30% fertilization was significantly higher in the 4-<10 Million group compared with the ≥20 Million post-wash TMSC group (P<0.001). Furthermore, Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis revealed post-wash TMSC as a significant predictor (P<0.05) of total failed fertilization (TFF) and of ≥30% fertilization (P<0.05) with area under curve (AUC) of 0. 79 and 0.77, respectively, with a deemed cutoff of 10.89 Million. Conclusion: Post-wash TMSC is a good predictor of fertilization; it can help in avoiding potentially low or even total fertilization failure (TFF). A cut-off point of 10.89 Million or less should warrant the use of ICSI.
