PurposeThere is a need to improve our understanding of the cut‐off value of the direct immunobead test (D‐IBT).MethodsThe subjects were 26 D‐IBT‐positive and 140 D‐IBT‐negative males. The results of post coital tests (PCTs) for each subject were examined.ResultsA significant difference was observed in abnormal PCTs between values <20 % and those ≥20 % (P= 0.02). However, there was no significant difference in abnormal PCTs between values <50 % and those ≥50 % (P= 0.084).ConclusionsA cut‐off value of 20 % was correlated with the possibility of conception on treatment with IUI. The D‐IBT is a screening test, and the value of 20 % initially suggested by Bronson et al. seems to be more appropriate than that of 50 % in the criteria defined by the World Health Organization.
