However, the purpose of the Apgar test is to determine quickly whether a newborn needs immediate medical care; it was not designed to make long-term predictions on a child's health. A score of 10 is uncommon due to the prevalence of transient cyanosis, and is not substantially different from a score of 9.
So, if the Apgar test does not predict the future health of a newborn, what do the scores mean? Before we answer this question, let's look at the scores for each condition individually. A newborn receives a score ranging from zero to two for each of the five conditions evaluated by the Apgar. So, a perfect score on the Apgar would be a score of ten.
