摘要Apgar评分简捷实用、易于操作。作为临床上对新生儿的初筛指标，Apgar评分在国际上被广泛接受并沿用至今，已有60余年的历史。随着现代医学技术的发展，目前已经认识到Apgar评分受很多因素影响，其局限性也备受关注。本文基于近年来临床研究的结果，针对Apgar评分与新生儿窒息诊断，Apgar评分与新生儿复苏的关系，以及Apgar评分对新生儿结局的预测作用等3个方面进行分析，强调应重新认识Apgar评分的作用。

abstractsThe Apgar score, as a convenient and practical method for clinical screening in newborns during the first minutes of life, has been widely used for more than six decades. However, with the advent of modern medical technology, the continued use of Apgar score has been a matter of controversy due to its limitations, including that it is prone to be influenced by many factors. We provide a new insight into the Apgar score, based on the updated clinical evidence, its relationship with neonatal resuscitation, and its predictive value in neonatal outcome.
