Outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection in relation to the meiotic pattern in patients with severe oligoasthenozoospermia.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcome in a selected group of patients with oligoasthenozoospermia in relation to the results obtained from their meiotic analysis.


METHODS
Retrospective clinical study.


METHODS
An assisted reproduction service and a university department.


METHODS
One hundred thirty-seven men with oligoasthenozoospermia grouped in relation to their meiotic pattern.


METHODS
Two hundred twenty-four intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles from 137 men with oligoasthenozoospermia in whom diagnostic meiotic analyses had been performed.


METHODS
Fertilization, pregnancy, implantation, and abortion rates.


RESULTS
There were no significant statistical differences in fertilization, pregnancy, implantation, or abortion rates among the three groups studied.


CONCLUSIONS
No statistically significant differences in fertilization, pregnancy, implantation, or abortion rates were found in patients with oligoasthenozoospermia in relation to the meiotic pattern.
