Abstract The Apgar score has made a major contribution to neonatal assessment, but are all parts of it equally useful ? In a survey of 436 babies, heart-rate and reflex irritability were found to be best associated with two non-Apgar measures of a baby's state—namely, time to first breath and time to first cry.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2007
Surgical teams have not had a routine, reliable measure of patient condition at the end of an operation. We aimed to develop an Apgar score for the field of surgery, an outcomes score that teams could calculate at the end of any general or vascular surgical procedure to accurately grade a patient's condition and chances of major complications or death ...

Predicting Infant Apgar Scores
Nursing Research, 1977This study identified psychologic and sociologic phenomena that affect a woman during pregnancy which, when associated with physical factors, result in poor neonatal outcome for the infant, as measured by the Apgar score at five minutes after birth. The Utah Test Appraising Health (UTAH) was administered to 51 pregnant women during the second or third ...

Development of the Apgar Score
1985One contribution of American anesthesia is important for other specialties also. The Apgar Score, for evaluation of the transition of the newborn baby to extrauterine life, is used by both obstetrics and pediatrics as well as anesthesiology. I investigated the development of the Apgar score as part of a larger project on Virginia Apgar’s life. For this
