Proficiency testing for sperm morphology

Description:Individual laboratories opted to enrol in one or more of the programmes. However, the remainder of participating laboratories used the much less stringent ASCP criteria, or some other undefined protocol. In contrast, in the current study, premade and prestained smears were provided, which would have eliminated the variation associated with this process. Although the PT report forms used herein did not allow for the use of decimals, and the ability of laboratories to apply correct mathematical calculations prior to reporting was not addressed, values were accepted as submitted and no attempt was made to ensure accuracy of recording results.
