“…Similar findings were also reported reported by the study done El-Auoty M et al and other studies. [11][12][13] In present study the average gestational age is 40 weeks which is similar to studies reported by El-Auoty M et al and various other studies. 11,12,14 In study reported Allemand F et al the average gestational age is 35 weeks the difference is because they also included preterm neonates in their study.…”

“…In studies reported by, El Auoty M et al the percentage of normal EEG is less when compared to present study findings which is due to difference in study inclusion criteria as in their study most of patients had severe perinatal asphyxia. 11,13,14 In present study the classification of perinatal asphyxia is based on APGAR score. 30% mild,65% moderate and 5% had severe perinatal asphyxia.…”

“…In studies reported by El Auoty M et al the EEG was performed in less than 72 hours. 11,13,14 The difference is because of unavailability of portable EEG machine; we could do EEG after cardiopulmonary stabilization of neonates. In studies reported by, El Auoty M et al the percentage of normal EEG is less when compared to present study findings which is due to difference in study inclusion criteria as in their study most of patients had severe perinatal asphyxia.…”

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is the most common and important cause of preventable cerebral injury occurring in the neonatal period. The WHO has estimated that 4 million babies die during the neonatal period every year. According to WHO, perinatal asphyxia is defined as the failure to initiate and sustain breathing at birth. The objective is to study the electroencephalographic changes and correlation between severity of Perinatal asphyxia with EEG changes.Methods: It is prospective observational study, which includes 40 term neonates admitted in NICU with perinatal asphyxia in GMCH Aurangabad. EEG analysis focused on background activity and classified into four categories.Results: The EEG was normal in 45%, mild abnormal in 25%, intermediate in 15%, and severely abnormal in 15%. Outcome at discharge was normal in 19(47.5%) and abnormal in 21(52.5%) including 1 death. Abnormal outcome was seen in 27% of newborns with normal EEG and 72% of abnormal EEG.Conclusions: Severity of perinatal asphyxia correlated well with abnormality of EEG. EEG changes and severity showed good correlation with immediate outcome of newborn in terms of duration of hospitalization and normal neurological examination.

“…The predisposition for preterm delivery in male gestations has been implied it the low Apgar score that neonatal boys present. However, this phenomenon has been shown even when preterm boys are compared with preterm girls [41]. In our study neither birth weight nor newborn gender was associated with low Apgar score.…”

A painful labor induces adverse maternal effects and increases fetal stress, yet evidence of lack of adverse effect of epidural anesthesia to the newborn Apgar score has been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate maternal, newborn and anesthetic factors associated with a low Apgar score, in particular the effect of modality and timing of epidural analgesia, since this may allow for an appropriate neonatal care planning. We retrospectively analyzed the labor process of 1850 out of 2006 parturients/participants/deliveries at Centro Hospitalar do Porto in 2014. Our primary outcome was newborn Apgar score at fifth minute post-partum. Statistical significance was set as a p value inferior to 0.05. Seventy-one newborns (3.8%) had Apgar score below 7 and 1779 (96.2%) above or equal to 7 at fifth minute. None of the variables identified as maternal age, BMI, previous labor, gestational age, cervix dilation and newborn weight have proved to be different between groups of Apgar below and above 7 (t-test). There was also no significant difference between newborns with Apgar above or below 7 in what concerned initiation of labor, mode of epidural analgesia, previous cesarean, type of delivery and newborn sex (Chi-squared). Median hour of birth and median labor length since beginning of epidural analgesia were not different between the two groups of outcome (Kruskall Wallis). The multivariable model showed that the risk for low Apgar was not independently associated with any of the variables analyzed (Chi-squared Omnibus). In our study, modality and timing of epidural analgesia was not a predictor of low neonate Apgar score at fifth minute postpartum. Nonetheless, we demonstrated that epidural analgesia of low concentration local anesthetics with opioids was non-inferior to the opioid-free variety.

“…Also, Islami and Fallah (2008) suggested that Apgar score was no related to gender. But Kaveh et al (2004) and Nagy et al (2009) reported a significant relation between Apgar score and gender.…”

The Apgar score is the most commonly used measure of newborn infant well-being. Infants of women with caesarean section were at increased risk of low Apgar score and/or perinatal death. The aim of study was to determine the impact of the cesarean section on Apgare score. This is a case-control study, which compared 100 Elective Cesarean Section (ECS) cases, with 199 uncomplicated Normal Vaginal Deliveries (NVD). All newborns were product of first or second pregnancy and they are full term and singleton babies. Apgar score in the minute 5 was measured in both groups. The descriptive and analytical statistics (X 2 and T test) were used.
