Assessing DFI Testing and Its Correlation with ART Success Rates
Assessing DFI Testing and Its Correlation with ART Success Rates
The DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) is a key measure of sperm health, showing how much DNA damage is in sperm cells. High DFI can lower male fertility by harming sperm function and its ability to fertilize an egg. In assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), sperm quality plays a crucial role in determining outcomes such as fertilization rates, embryo development, and pregnancy success. The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between DFI and ART success rates, particularly focusing on fertilization outcomes, embryo quality, and pregnancy rates across different levels of sperm DNA fragmentation.
