The continuing value of the Apgar score for the assessment of newborn infants.
TL;DR: A retrospective cohort analysis of 151,891 live-born singleton infants without malformations who were delivered at 26 weeks of gestation or later at an inner-city public hospital between January 1988 and December 1998 found that Apgar scores and umbilical-artery blood pH values best predicted neonatal death during the first 28 days after birth.
Journal Article
Apgar scores as predictors of chronic neurologic disability
TL;DR: Apgar scores were recorded at one and five minutes for approximately 49,000 infants, and at ten, 15, and 20 minutes for babies who did not achieve a score of 8 or higher at five minutes and followed to the age of 7 years.

Do apgar scores indicate asphyxia
TL;DR: The relation between the Apgar scores and the acid-base status of the babies at birth was assessed in a prospective study of 1210 consecutive deliveries and it was found that only 21% of babies with a 1 min Apgar score had an acid- base status.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of Apgar score with subsequent death and cerebral palsy: A population-based study in term infants.
TL;DR: The strong association of low Apgar scores with death and CP in this population with a low occurrence of low scores shows that the Apgar score remains important for the early identification of infants at increased risk for serious and fatal conditions.
