* Study by Chaubey S et al showed that mean
APGAR at 1 min among induced was 8.9 [+ or -] 0.3 and non-induced was 8.8 [+ or -] 0.33.

Validation of the Surgical
Apgar Score in a veteran population undergoing general surgery.
In the present study, it was observed that the need for NICU admission increased and
APGAR 1st minute scores decreased with increasing NT, but
APGAR 5th minute scores remained unchanged.
Similarly, 1 RCT (39 women) that compared amniotomy with intent to preserve membranes in spontaneous labors that became prolonged found no difference in cesarean section, maternal satisfaction, or
Apgar scores.

With respect to the health status of the newborn at birth, there was an association between neonatal death and birth weight--between 1,500 and 2,499 grams (OR = 5.34, IC = 2.99-9.54) and under 1,500 grams (OR = 103.35, IC = 42.33-252.34)--and
Apgar score in the first minute of life--between zero and three (OR = 47.18, IC = 23.00-96.77) and four and six (OR = 27.07, IC = 12.78-57.32).
La media de
Apgar al minuto de nacer fue de 8,6[+ or -]1,7, con un rango de 8, siendo el
Apgar minimo de 2 y el maximo de 10.
Apgar originally wanted to become a surgeon after completing two years of a surgical internship at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, but due to the sexism prevalent in society at the time, she was urged by her male professors to pursue the newer and less prestigious field of anesthesiology.
The
Apgar score is a way of measuring the health of a baby right after birth and is still used in many hospitals in the US today.
Most of the babies were born with good
Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes.
In group-A, 37.9% of newborns had
Apgar score < 7 at 1 minute whereas, patients in group-B had 64.4% babies with score of < 7.
