  1. 1The number for analysis was 49 examinations from 35 patients.
  2. 2The number for analysis was 168 examinations from 82 patients.
  3. Numbers in the spaces are the Kendall tau-b correlation coefficient, τb.
  4. SC, Sperm concentration; PR, Progressive motility.
  5. *The correlation is significant at the P < 0.05 level. **The correlation is significant at the P < 0.01 level.
