Summary

It is of importance to predict the risk to develop problems after birth. Virginia Apgar developed a score more than 50 years ago that allows a description of the condition of newborns at 1, 5 and 10 minutes after birth. The Apgar score is used for every newborn, however, its applicability is restricted in preterm infants and resuscitated newborns. Thus, two scores have been suggested recently - the Specified Apgar and the Expanded-Apgar score. By combining both scores the Combined-Apgar has been developed as a new delivery room tool.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Combined-Apgar predicts poor outcome better than the Specified- or Expanded Apgar alone.
