Comparison between the hypoosmotic swelling test and morphology evaluation using strict
criteria in predicting in vitro fertiliz Page 1 Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, Vol …

The hypoosmotic swelling test is a simple laboratory test to measure the functional integrity
of the human sperm membrane. Its in-vivo and in-vitro applicability needs to be evaluated …

The hypoosmotic swelling test (HOS) is a simple test to measure the functional competence
of human sperm membranes. The question is, does a relationship exist between this …

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a single abnormal semen parameter on
subsequent implantation and pregnancy rates (PRs) following in vitro fertilization-embryo …

Objective To improve the accuracy of human sperm hypoosmotic swelling test by introducing
new morphological evaluation parameters for this test. Design Individual semen samples …

In this study, we arbitrarily classified the morphological changes of sperm under hypo-
osmotic condition and compared the results with four different sperm separation techniques …

Multivariate discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the usefulness of routine semen
parameters and the hypo‐osmotic swelling test (HOST) as predictors of the in‐vitro fertilizing …

Objective To determine, among the following variables, the predictors of sperm fertilization
potential of a given semen sample: sperm count, eight sperm velocity characteristics …

Human ejaculates (n= 83) were analyzed for standard sperm parameters (concentration,
motility, and morphology), as well as for the ability of the spermatozoa to react (swell) in a …

Background The hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST) was recommended as a predictive test
for in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome. These results, however, were controversial and the …
