| Secondary | Number of Participants With 5 Minute Apgar Score <7 | Date were analyzed with independent t, X2 and Fisher's exact tests, where applicable The Apgar score, developed by Virginia Apgar describes the condition of the newborn infant immediately after birth and, when properly applied, is a tool for standardized assessment 18. It also provides a mechanism to record fetal-to-neonatal transition. This scoring system provided a standardized assessment for infants after delivery. The Apgar score comprises five components: 1) color, 2) heart rate, 3) reflexes, 4) muscle tone, and 5) respiration, each of which is given a score of 0, 1, or 2. The Apgar score ranges from 0 (lowest, poor outcome) to 10 (highest, good outcome). | | Posted | | Count of Participants | | Participants | | At time of delivery | | | | ID | Title | Description |
