Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Among married couples in Germany, 3-9% suffer from infertility. Due to the tremendous changes in reproductive medicine, several successful approaches including ICSI after operative sperm retrieval are available. The age of the woman has a positive predictive value for the ICSI outcome, but for the male partner no predictive value for any parameter before TESE and ICSI has been demonstrated. Therefore we investigated whether there is a parameter before TESE that will elucidate the question of success of assisted reproduction after successful sperm retrieval. The outcome of 108 married couples that were treated consecutively for infertility with one or more TESE were investigated to determine whether the man's age, FSH concentration or testicular volume has a significant influence on the success of this therapy. None of the parameters had a positive predictive value about the outcome that could enhance the counselling of these couples before operative sperm retrieval. © 2009 Springer Medizin Verlag.
