    The Apgar score is used to assess a newborn's health after birth. It evaluates the baby's appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration on a scale of 0-2 for each category, with scores combined for a total between 0-10. Higher scores indicate better adaptation to extrauterine life, with 7-10 generally considered normal.
