Gestational age‐related reference values for Apgar score and umbilical cord arterial and venous pH in preterm and term newborns
Published 23 September 2019 Despite much literature on reference values of acid-base status in umbilical cord blodd of birth, there are as yet no studies perfomed to determine gestational age-dependent references in cord venous blood and no studies on preterm acid-base standards. Similary, the normal reference range of Apgar scores for term and preterm infants has not yet been determined.
