Abstract: Objective: Our study aims to retrospectively examine the relationship between two different sperm preparation methods used in IUI among eight years in terms of pregnancy and live birth rates. Methods: We evaluated the data of semen samples between December 2012 and March 2020. Three hundred eighty-four samples prepared with Conventional Swim-up (CSW) and 361 samples prepared with Density Gradient-Swim up (DGC-SW) obtained from men applying for IUI were analyzed. Spermiogram results of the semen samples given by men applying for IUI were examined. Data about sperm preparation method, post washed sperm parameters, pregnancy, and live birth rate were collected. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: Basal progressive sperm count was significantly higher in pregnant couples in both CSW and DGCSW groups (p = 0,032, p = 0,035, respectively). In each group, the post washed total progressive motile sperm count obtained by CSW and DGC-SW methods were significantly higher in pregnant patients (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between CSW and DGC-SW methods in pregnancy achievement (p = 0,399, X-2 = 0,712). Live birth and miscarriage rates were not different between the groups (p = 0,243, X-2 = 2.827). Conclusion: In conclusion, there is no significant difference between CSW and DGC-SW for pregnancy and live birth rates. Our results suggest that both sperm preparation techniques used in IUI are not superior to each other. In other words, the choice of sperm preparation method does not affect the pregnancy rate in couples undergoing IUI.(c) 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
