You have accessJournal of UrologyInfertility: Epidemiology all comparisons p<0.001). In a multivariate regression controlling for race/ethnicity, age, semen analysis category (oligozoospermic vs normozoospermic), previous successful fertility outcome, and use of ART, completely rural area of residence was significantly associated with decreased likelihood of successful fertility outcome compared to metropolitan individuals (Hazard Ratio HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44–0.91, n=65). Non-metro urban individuals also trended towards lower likelihood of successful fertility outcome (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.85–1.01). Interestingly, completely rural area of residence is associated with longer median time to successful fertility outcome and lower total percent success. CONCLUSIONS: Rural area of residence significantly decreases likelihood of successful fertility outcomes in a statewide patient database of men undergoing semen analysis for fertility assessment.
