PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 minutes after delivery

The Apgar score is a simple method of quickly assessing the health and vital signs of a newborn baby created by and named after Dr. Virginia Apgar. Apgar testing assesses Appearance, Pulse, Grimace and Activity in a newborn and is typically done at one and five minutes after a baby is born, and it may be repeated at 10, 15, and 20 minutes if the score is low. The five criteria are each scored as 0, 1, or 2 (two being the best), and the total score is calculated by then adding the five values obtained. Agar scores of 0-3 are critically low, 4-6 are below normal, and indicate that the baby likely requires medical intervention, scores of 7+ are considered normal. The lower the Apgar score, the more alert the medical team should be to the possibility of the baby requiring intervention. Some components of the Apgar score are subjective, and there are cases in which a baby requires urgent medical treatment despite having a high Apgar score. The lowest score is 0, the highest score is 10.
