CORRELATION BETWEEN HYPO-OSMOTIC SWELLING TEST OF SPERM AND SUCCESS RATE OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION CYCLES.

Introduction : There is not a standard method for infertility evaluation and doctors can not predict that the cause of infertility may influence pregnancy. The semen analysis is s tool for evaluation the male fertility potential. However the test can not predict the result of in vitro fertilization. It is suggested that hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) can predict the result of IVF-ET The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between HOST & result of IVF-ET cycles. Material & Methods : A simple study on 30 sample from patients who were candidate for IVF treatment cycles in Madar Hospital & research & clinical center for infertility was performed. Fertilization rate (FR), SA, pregnancy rate (PR) and result of sperm viability were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS-9 for windows. The level of p<0.05 was assessed significant. Results : Mean HOST results in different groups were compared. The significant difference was not seen in the FR rate, embryo transfer, BHCG, Clinical PR, on going PR, abortion, live birth rate & male age. Also, there are not correlation between HOS T-test & SA. Discussion : According to our finding, the result of HOS test has not correlated at IVF-ET The test can not predict the IVF result. It could be benefit in the case of borderline SA.
