Gestational age‐related reference values for Apgar score and umbilical cord arterial and venous pH in preterm and term newborns
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.
