  1. Ei ejaculated immotile sperm, En ejaculated non-progressively motile spermatozoa, Ep ejaculated progressively motile spermatozoa, SD standard deviation, TESE testicular spermatozoa
  2. *Kruskal–Wallis test was performed to detect the between-group difference. †Normal fertilization rate was computed as the total number of normal fertilized oocytes divided by the total number of MII oocytes. ‡The rate of good-quality embryos on day 3 referred to the total number of good quality embryos on day 3 divided by the total number of all embryos on day 3
