• Temporal trends in sperm count: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis (2017, positive): “It has been claimed that men who are willing to provide semen sample may differ from the rest of the population leading to potential selection bias, but current evidence does not support this claim (Cooper et al., 2010).”
• Trends of male factor infertility, an important cause of infertility: A review of literature (2015, methodology): “[24] Male infertility is commonly due to deficiencies in the semen, and semen quality is used as a surrogate measure of male fecundity.[25]”
• BMI in relation to sperm count: an updated systematic review and collaborative meta-analysis. (2013, methodology): “The prevalence of subjects having abnormal sperm count was compared across BMI categories as described above, as well as the prevalence of men having decreased sperm concentration according to WHO guidelines (,15 M/ml; Cooper et al., 2010; World Health Organization, 2010).”
• A unique view on male infertility around the globe (2015, methodology): “In 2010, the WHO changed their guidelines for semen analysis for the diagnosis of the infertile male [24].”
