In 1952 Virginia Apgar, a physician at the Sloane Women?s Hospital in New York City, New York, created the Apgar score as a method of evaluating newborn infants? health to determine if they required medical intervention. The score included five separate categories, including heart rate, breathing rate, reaction to stimuli, muscle activity, and color. An infant received a score from zero to two ...

BACKGROUND: 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. STUDY DESIGN: We derived our s...

OBJECTIVE To investigate associations between Apgar score at five and 10 minutes across the entire range of score values (from 0 to 10) and risks of childhood cerebral palsy or epilepsy, and to analyse the effect of changes in Apgar scores from five to 10 minutes after birth in infants born ≥37 completed weeks. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Population based cohort study in Sweden, includi...
