Abstract |  Download PDF | |  Post | To compare Apgar scores and umbilical cord blood gas parameters between normal vaginal delivery (NVD) and cesarean section (C-section), and to evaluate their relationship in assessing immediate neonatal adaptation. This retrospective study included 604 neonates delivered between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022 at a tertiary care center. Infants were grouped according to mode of delivery (NVD: n=304; C-section: n=300). Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes and arterial cord blood gas parameters (pH, lactate, base deficit) were analyzed. Neonates with maternal or fetal comorbidities were excluded. Apgar scores were significantly higher in the NVD group at both 1 minute (7.71 ± 0.97 vs. 6.75 ± 1.47; p
