The researchers point out, however, that it was an observational study and that no definite conclusions about causality between Apgar score and the risk of neurological morbidity in babies can be drawn.

Not exact matches

In recent well - designed studies that captured planned place of birth andused better sources of data, there were no differences in 5 - minute Apgar scores between home and hospital settings (Hutton et al, 2009; Janssen et al, 2009; van der Kooy et al, 2011).

These studies show little difference between epidural and nonepidural (usually opiate - exposed) babies in terms of Apgar score and umbilical - cord pH, both of which reflect the baby's condition at birth.78 However, a large - population survey from Sweden found that use of an epidural was significantly associated with a low Apgar score at birth.79

The study claims that babies who had a high Apgar score were likely to have lower ADHD risk, whereas those babies who has a lower score of between one and four, were seen to have a 75 % higher risk of developing ADHD.

We observed no significant differences between the home - birth group and either comparison group with respect to a 5 - minute Apgar score of less than 7, a diagnosis of asphyxia at birth, seizures, or the need for assisted ventilation beyond the first 24 hours of life.

The researchers identified children diagnosed with CP or epilepsy before the age of 16 in various national registers using diagnostic codes and then calculated the risk of CP and epilepsy for every Apgar level at five and ten minutes after birth and in relation to changes in Apgar score between ten and five minutes.

It is well known that a low Apgar score of between 0 and 6 points at one or five minutes after birth is linked to a higher risk of cerebral palsy (CP) and epilepsy, and that a very low score of between 0 and 3 points at ten minutes indicates a significantly higher risk of CP.
