General conclusion
Persistent methodological problems with semen analysis
Predictive value of WHO criteria in ART: doubtful
Semen analysis & prediction IUI success: limited value
Semen analysis & prediction IVF/ICSI success: limited value
Value of DNA-fragmentation tests in predicting ART success: not clear
