title: The hypoosmotic swelling test as a useful adjunct to the semen analysis to predict fertility potential.
abstract: The sperm HOS test was highly predictive of eventual achievement of pregnancy in women in whom other infertility factors had been corrected. No woman conceived whose partner's HOS was less than 50%. The results of spermiograms did not correlate with conception rate.
