Does DNA Sperm Fragmentation Affects Embryo Morphokinetic? (MACs-ESD)

April 3, 2018 updated by: David Agudo Garcillan, IVI Madrid

Embryo Development Measure Depending on the DNA Sperm Fragmentation

The embryokinetics may be a new prognostic factor for choosing the human embryos with the highest implantation potential. In order to identify the factors that may affect the rate of embryo cleavage, there are many studies about morphokinetics and culture medium, oxygen tension, oocyte quality or type of medication used for ovarian stimulation. However there are no published data with respect to the influence of sperm DNA fragmentation in the embryo kinetic.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time of pronuclear appearance in hours.
Time Frame: The mean time of appearance of pronuclei is 3.3951 hours in our patients. We are going to evaluate pronuclear appearence time in hours in our study groups

We want to study whether differences exist in the time of appearance of pronuclei in those embryos that derived from semen samples from the two study groups

the minimum value of the difference to be detected; we said that about 3 hours apart.
The mean time of appearance of pronuclei is 3.3951 hours in our patients. We are going to evaluate pronuclear appearence time in hours in our study groups
