ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the association of sperm mobility parameters assessed by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) with the rates of normal fertilization, oocyte cleavage and excellent embryos in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 288 infertile women undergoing IVF cycles patients were divided into two groups according to the normal fertilization rate (≥50% and <50%), cleavage rate (≥90% and <90%), or excellent embryo rates (≥50% and <50%). The means of the sperm motility parameters analyzed by CASA twice before oocyte retrieval were recorded and analyzed using t-test in relation to the rates of normal fertilization, cleavage and excellent embryos in IVF cycles.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean curvilinear velocity (VCL), average path velocity (VAP), and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH) were significantly higher in women with a normal fertilization rate of ≥50% than in those with a normal fertilization rate of <50% (P<0.05). Women with an oocyte cleavage rate of ≥90% had significantly higher VCL and VAP than those with a cleavage rate of <90% (P<0.05). The VCL, straight line velocity (VSL), VAP, linearity, straightness, wobble coefficient, ALH, or beat-cross frequency showed no significant differences between women with excellent embryo rates of ≥50% and <50% (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The sperm motility parameters assessed using CASA are associated with normal fertilization and oocyte cleavage rates but not with excellent embryo rate in IVF cycles.</p>
