Pronuclear and morphological features as a cumulative score to select embryos in ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) cycles according to sperm origin.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To analyze best parameter to select embryos according to sperm origin in ICSI cycles. METHODS:One hundred seventy-two ICSI cycles were divided among three different groups: A (ejaculated spermatozoa from nonmale factor infertility), B (ejaculated spermatozoa from oligospermia), and C (spermatozoa from azoospermia). Embryos were divided on Day 1 into two patterns: S0 (pronuclei (PN) aligned and close with normal arrangement of nucleoli) and S1 (when these characteristics were absent) and also on transfer day according to morphological features. RESULTS:Relationships of PN patterns related to sperm origin were noted. More S0 embryos were detected with better sperm quality. Higher number of good quality embryos was obtained when male factor was absent. Ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa provide better quality embryos than do testicular spermatozoa. CONCLUSIONS:PN classification associated with transfer day morphology is valuable additional noninvasive criterion for elective embryo transfer, mainly in the cases with severe male factor.
