Thanks Daphne, good follow-up decision.
The 4yr criterion was put in place as an age that was earlier than any male
had reached testes enlargement, and therefore, possible viable sperm. Is
this still the case? Susan, perhaps we should do an an examination of m/c
that occur after age 4 but before E date. Would you want to exclude those
post-hoc (not in the field) as being comparable to females before menarche,
or should we leave those in based on less complete evidence of infertility?
The instance of a pre-menarche female should be deleted.
