About

The objective of this study is to identify high-risk factors associated with low Apgar scores, implement proactive interventions to reduce their occurrence, and analyze neonatal resuscitation procedures and systemic treatment during hospitalization. This aims to provide evidence-based references for improving the resuscitation and medical management of newborns with low Apgar scores, thereby enhancing clinical care capabilities. Additionally, continuous follow-up management and timely intervention guidance will be provided to these infants to optimize their long-term prognosis.
