Kezia Biandra Putri Ariadwianto1, Kohar Hari Santoso2*, Agus Sulisytono3
Abstract
After the delivery of a newborn, a comprehensive initial assessment is immediately conducted to evaluate the infant’s overall health status. This critical initial evaluation serves as the foundational step in identifying any pressing medical issues, determining the need for urgent medical interventions, and closely monitoring the newborn’s adaptation to extrauterine life. APGAR Score is a standardized test performed on a newborn baby after birth to assess the clinical status. APGAR Score assessment uses a rapid method and also requires intervention for resuscitation. In addition to the immediate post-birth assessment, there are several key factors that contribute to the APGAR score outcome, which serves as an indicator of the newborn’s immediate health and physiological status at birth. These factors include the mode of delivery. Whether the birth is vaginal or cesarean can have a profound impact on neonatal outcomes. This literature review will explore the relationship between the mode of delivery and APGAR scores, providing valuable insights for healthcare providers to optimize newborn care and decision-making.
