APGAR score
There was a significantly higher incidence of fetuses with an APGAR score < 7 in the NCB than in NNCB (***p). Simultaneously, for APGAR ≥ 7, the incidence of NCB was lower than that of NNCB (**p). We found that the nuchal cord is associated with a lower APGAR score, whereas the nuchal cord’s absence exhibited a better APGAR score (Fig.7).
