Concept
The Apgar score represents the overall clinical status of a newborn child. This is evaluated one, five and ten minutes after birth based on 5 parameters: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration. If the score measured at 5 minutes is < 8, the Apgar score is measured again at 10, 15, 20 minutes etc. until the score = 8.
Purpose
The Apgar score is primarily meant to rapidly determine the clinical condition of the newborn child and whether extra care is required. A low Apgar score can be caused by developmental disorders, prenatal accidents or negative influences during birth. The Apgar score remains a snapshot in time and cannot be used to predict the locomotive or mental development of a child.
Evidence Base
The definitions of the concepts are based on the Apgar score (as defined in Dutch by the KNOV), the guidelines Fetal Monitoring of the NVOG and Reanimation of Newborn of the NVK.
Patient Population
The ApgarScore information model is meant for children up to the age of 12 month.

Technical specifications in HL7v3 CDA and HL7 FHIR
To exchange information based on health and care information models, additional, more technical specifications are required.
Not every environment can handle the same technical specifications. For this reason, there are several types of technical specifications:
HL7® version 3 CDA compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz ART-DECOR® environment
HL7® FHIR® compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz environment on the Simplifier FHIR
