Objective To investigate the risk factors for low Apgar score (≤7) at 1 minute after birth in very low/extremely low birth weight infants. Methods Clinical data of very low/extremely low birth weight infants were retrospectively collected from January 2018 to December 2019 in the multicenter clinical database of the Jiangsu Multicenter Study Collaborative Group for Breastmilk Feeding in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The infants were divided into two groups: low Apgar score group (Apgar score ≤7) and normal Apgar score group (Apgar score >7) based on the Apgar score at 1 minute after birth. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with low Apgar score at 1 minute after birth. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of relevant indicators for low Apgar score at 1 minute after birth. Results A total of 1 809 very low/extremely low birth weight infants were included. The incidence of low Apgar score at 1 minute was 52.90% (957/1 809). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that older gestational age (OR=0.853, P<0.05) and higher birth weight (OR=0.999, P<0.05) were associated with a lower risk of low Apgar score at 1 minute, while the presence of abnormal amniotic fluid (OR=1.646, P<0.05) and antenatal use of glucocorticoids (OR=0.502, P<0.05) were associated with a higher and lower risk, respectively. ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of gestational age, birth weight, abnormal amniotic fluid, and antenatal use of glucocorticoids had a sensitivity of 0.554 and specificity of 0.680 in predicting low Apgar score at 1 minute. Conclusions Younger gestational age, lower birth weight, and abnormal amniotic fluid increase the risk of low Apgar score at 1 minute after birth in very low/extremely low birth weight infants, while antenatal use of glucocorticoids can reduce this risk.
