These results support previous published data showing that morphokinetic parameters are affected by multinucleation (Ergin et al., 2014; Balakier et al., 2016). 

This correlation between irregular divisions and multinucleation supports the previous results in section 5.1, in which we observed that multinucleated embryos showed significant differences in the duration of most of the morphokinetic parameters versus those embryos without multinucleation.
