What does a 1-minute Apgar score indicate?

A score of 7–10 indicates good condition; 4–6 suggests moderate depression requiring stimulation; 0–3 indicates severe depression needing immediate resuscitation. It reflects transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life.

Is a low 1-minute Apgar predictive of long-term outcome?

The 1-minute score is primarily a guide to immediate resuscitation need, not a predictor of long-term neurologic outcome. The 5-minute score correlates more strongly with neonatal mortality and morbidity.
