Summary

This study reviews medical records from about 400 couples where the male partner has a condition called non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), meaning no sperm is found in the semen. All couples used IVF with a special sperm injection technique. The goal is to see if testing embryos for genetic problems (PGT-A) improves the chance of a live birth compared to not testing. The study does not involve any new treatments and only looks back at past results.
