Table 7. Apgar score at one and five minutes of the SCD and control groups.
The p-value was computed using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test; a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Min: minute, SCD: sickle cell disease

| 7–10 | 202 (93.1) | 190 (95) | 0.411 | |
| Apgar score at 5 min | 0–3 | 5 (2.3) | 2 (1) | 0.452 |
| 4–6 | 3 (1.4) | 1 (0.5) | 0.624 | |
