Role of intra‐individual variation in the detection of thresholds for DFI and for misclassification rates: A retrospective analysis of 14,775 SCSA<sup>®</sup> tests
Ongoing pregnancy rates are reduced significantly for both IVF and ICSI treatments when DFI is above the thresholds of 15 and 25, respectively. The misclassification rate and the required sample size increase with increasing intra-individual variation. Couples with a DFI above 15 are more likely to experience failed assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. DFI appears to have increased during the past 15 years.
