apgar

Also Apgar score which is used to assess newborns is named after Virginia Apgar.

From Wikipedia: An example of a backronym as a mnemonic is the Apgar score, used to assess the health of newborn babies.

An example: Every new born child with Apgar score below 8 should be killed.

One more interesting note: The Apgar score was not developed by an expert.

She uses Apgar Scores in evaluating babies weeks and months after birth.

As someone who scored a 1/10 on the Apgar at birth, I'd like to thank Dr.

It would work if there was some sort of gene that led to premature births plus high Apgar scores (the equivalent of a malicious website that ranks well).

Interestingly, we both had the exact same Apgar scores 6 / 10 / 10 (scores are measured 1, 5 and 10 minutes after birth).

Gamification is nothing new, and can have big impacts > Implementing the Apgar score introduced a spirit of competition because the doctors inherently wanted the newborns they delivered to have better scores.

I don't have any names off the top of my head, but see something like the Apgar score to get an idea of what would go into evaluating a person's presented traits.

(Breech babies born the old-fashioned way generally have low 1-minute Apgar scores.) I saved my insurance company a ton of money, I have to say.

This included 55 per cent less chance of oxygen deprivation during delivery, 39 per cent lower odds of neonatal encephalopathy, and 48 per cent less chance of a low Apgar score, a measure of a baby's wellbeing after delivery.

Leaving the humans to focus on the 5% An example I have in mind is Apgar's score, an almost stupidly simple index of a newborn's baby health, but a system devised by an anesthesiologist who realized that doctors' traditional method of judgment (check to see if the baby is crying "weakly") left many babies at risk of dying needlessly.

For the emotional "is my baby ok" aspect, before you are even interested in the Apgar scores, you automatically and instinctively do a quick "is everything there" check, even if you know that to be the case because of the ultrasound examinations.

After Apgar, obstetricians decided they needed a simpler, more predictable way to intervene when a laboring mother ran into trouble.
