CSAD - A Clinical Sperm Analysis Dataset for Male Fertility Studies

This dataset contains comprehensive sperm analysis data collected from a clinical research study focused on male reproductive health. It includes various sperm parameters such as sperm concentration, motility, morphology, and other relevant semen characteristics. These parameters were analyzed to assess sperm quality and its association with potential reproductive issues.

The dataset consists of 1,256 individual records, each representing a sample with both qualitative and quantitative metrics. These records provide insights into male fertility, offering a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians studying fertility, male reproductive health, and related conditions.

Key Variables:

Age: The age of the participant.

Volume: The volume of the semen sample.

Period of Abstinence: The period of abstinence before sample collection (e.g., days).

Colour: The color of the semen sample.

Viscosity: The viscosity of the semen.

Reaction (pH Levels): pH of the semen sample.

Methods: The method of sample collection (e.g., masturbation, coitus).

Total Spermatozoa Count: The total number of sperm per milliliter.

Active Motile: Percentage of active motile sperm.

Weakly Motile: Percentage of weakly motile sperm.

Non Motile: Percentage of non-motile sperm.

Morphology Normal: Percentage of sperm with normal morphology.

Morphology Abnormal: Percentage of sperm with abnormal morphology.

Pus Cells: The count of pus cells per high-power field (HPF).

Epithelial Cells: The count of epithelial cells per HPF.

RBC: The count of red blood cells in the sample.

Comment: Clinical observations, including diagnoses like asthenozoospermia, normozoospermia, etc.

Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to support research in the field of male infertility, sperm function, and reproductive health. It provides foundational data that can be utilized for comparative studies, statistical analysis, and the development of machine learning models to better understand male fertility and related disorders.

Data Collection Method:
The data was collected through clinical sperm analysis using standard laboratory procedures. Each sample was processed and analyzed under controlled conditions to ensure consistency and reliability of results. The dataset is based on semen samples from multiple male participants, with data on sperm quality and related metrics.

Usage:
This dataset is intended for use by researchers, clinicians, and institutions involved in fertility studies, reproductive health, and related fields. It can be used for statistical analysis, model development, hypothesis testing, and clinical assessments in the context of male fertility and health.
