In general, neonates delivered by cesarean section have greater depression and low vitality at birth and may require advanced resuscitation procedures. The evaluations carried out in this study identified newborns with low vitality and those requiring advanced resuscitation, thus allowing immediate intervention. Apgar and reflex scores for feline neonates were suggested. Newborn-specific clinical assessment with these feline vitality scores allows the identification of at-risk neonates. Care immediately after birth increases the chance of survival among these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x221081404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]],"date-time":"2022-03-30T08:50:47Z","timestamp":1648630247000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Topics in the routine assessment of newborn kitten vitality: Apgar score, reflexes and complementary assessments"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Viviane Yukari","family":"Hibaru","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6474-4808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keylla Helena Nobre Pac\u00edfico","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3352-8261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K\u00e1rita da Mata","family":"Fuchs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Denise","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Surgery and Animal Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ang\u00e9lica","family":"Alfonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4721-1801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabiana Ferreira","family":"de Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Surgery and Animal Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone Biagio","family":"Chiacchio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miriam Harumi","family":"Tsunemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biosciences, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luiz Henrique de Ara\u00fajo","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Lucia Gomes","family":"Louren\u00e7o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Neonatology Research Group, Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.151.17.497"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.12844"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2005.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X20974960"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","first-page":"303","article-title":"Caracter\u00edsticas do per\u00edodo de transi\u00e7\u00e3o fetal-neonatal e particularidades fisiol\u00f3gicas do neonato canino.","volume":"37","author":"Louren\u00e7o MLG","year":"2013","unstructured":"Louren\u00e7o MLG, Machado LHA.
