Establishment of allowable total error for semen analysis based on the state of the art in China
This study provides the first large-scale, evidence-based TE<sub>a</sub> for semen analysis in China. The stratified TE<sub>a</sub> for motility and vitality based on clinical thresholds, improves diagnostic accuracy. The proposed specifications are practical, achievable, and clinically relevant, providing a consistent foundation for quality assurance in reproductive medicine laboratories.
