Sperm DNA integrity has been shown to be necessary for achieving and sustaining embryo development. The objective was to evaluate the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice for intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments.
