For participant with ID 28 no APGAR scores could be obtained. The APGAR score³⁷ was developed to evaluate a newborn’s health condition and the potential need of neonatal care based on five categories (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration). A score $\ge 7$ is considered normal, scores ranging between 4 and 6 are classified as fairly low, and scores $\le 3$ as critically low^37,38. The APGAR assessment is routinely applied three times, i.e. 1, 5, and 10 min after birth.
