  1. Patient number: Letters after patient numbers indicate consecutive samples from the same patient e.g. 10b is the second sample from patient 10
  2. Semen Analysis: O = oligozoospermia (sperm concerntration <20 million/ml); A = severe asthenozoospermia (formward motility <40%); T = severe teratozoospermia (normal motility <4% by strict Kruger criteria); N = normozoospermia (>20 million/ml concentration; >40% formward motlity; >4% normal morphology).
