A computer-aided semen analysis (CASA) was used to allow digitizing the motion of the spermatozoon. This procedure allows an objective means of judging semen quality, especially the translational movements of spermatozoa. Forty-three couples were included in the study. The average age of the male was 35.5 +/- 4.7 years and that of the female was 32.7 +/- 4.7 years. The average duration of infertility was 3.8 +/- 2.3 years. Using multiple linear regression analysis of 26 prognostic variables, a cluster of 8 variables significantly predicted pregnancy maximally. The 8 variables and the resultant multiple correlation coefficients were used to generate a multiple regression equation which allowed the correct separation of the population into fertile and infertile couples. The mean pregnancy predictor values of the fertile and infertile populations were significantly different using the analysis of variance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007248 Infertility, Male The inability of the male to effect FERTILIZATION of an OVUM after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test. Negative Predictive Value,Positive Predictive Value,Predictive Value Of Test,Predictive Values Of Tests,Negative Predictive Values,Positive Predictive Values,Predictive Value, Negative,Predictive Value, Positive
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
