Abstract

The inconsistent adoption of the WHO 5th edition (2010) semen analysis reporting standard by laboratories is a huge problem in clinical andrology. Although the study by [First author last name] and colleagues has a few methodological shortcomings, its simple design is particularly effective at conveying the magnitude of this widespread problem. For those in a reproductive medicine specialty practice it will not be surprising, but for the rest of the urology community it will be staggering to see that over a third of US laboratories are performing semen analyses according to decades-old standards. 1 Place reference for present study (currently unknown): “Inconsistent Adoption of World Health Organization V (2010) Semen Analysis Reference Ranges in the United States Six Years After Publication” Google Scholar
