Résumé

To identify patient factors associated with a clinically significant improvement in semen parameters among infertile men treated with the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole. Multi-institutional retrospective cohort study. Two Tertiary Academic Medical Centers. A total of 90 infertile men treated at 2 tertiary academic medical centers who met inclusion criteria and obtained pretreatment and posttreatment semen analyses. Prescription of anastrozole (median 3 mg/wk). Upgrade in the World Health Organization sperm concentration category (WHO-SCC). Univariate logistic regression, multivariable logistic regression, and partitioning analyses were performed to identify statistically significant patient factors capable of predicting treatment response. With anastrozole treatment, 46% (n = 41/90) of men responded favorably with a WHO-SCC upgrade, and 12% (n = 11/90) experienced a downgrade. Responders exhibited lower pretreatment levels of luteinizing hormone (LH, 4.7 vs. 8.3 IU/L) and follicle-stimulating hormone (4.7 vs. 6.7 IU/mL), higher pretreatment levels of testosterone (T, 356 vs. 265 ng/dL), and similar baseline level of estradiol (E Anastrozole therapy decreases serum E
