The Apgar score provides a convenient shorthand for reporting the status of the newborn infant and the response to resuscitation. The Apgar score has been used inappropriately to predict specific neurologic outcome in the term infant. There are no consistent data on the significance of the Apgar score in preterm infants. The Apgar score has limitations, and it is inappropriate to use it alone to establish the diagnosis of asphyxia. An Apgar score assigned during resuscitation is not equivalent to a score assigned to a spontaneously breathing infant. An expanded Apgar score reporting form will account for concurrent resuscitative interventions and provide information to improve systems of perinatal and neonatal care.
阿氏评分提供了一种便捷的方式来报告新生儿的状况以及对复苏的反应。阿氏评分被不恰当地用于预测足月儿的特定神经学结局。关于阿氏评分在早产儿中的意义，尚无一致的数据。阿氏评分有局限性，单独使用它来诊断窒息是不合适的。复苏期间给出的阿氏评分与给自主呼吸婴儿的评分并不等同。一份扩展的阿氏评分报告表将记录同时进行的复苏干预措施，并提供信息以改善围产期和新生儿护理系统。
