However, premature newborns, low birth weight, mother’s age and weight of mother, no of parity has effect on APGAR score. There were no significant statistical differences between APGAR score of 1 st and 5 th minutes in two methods of delivery (t=0.067 and 0.066 on 1 st minute and 5 th minute respectively, p>0.05). Results showed that 88 and 95 percentage of neonatal APGAR scores in 1 st and 5 th minutes were more than seven, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Total 200 singleton babies (100 NVD and 100 CD) were selected and APGAR score was checked in the first and fifth minutes from baby’s birth record. A cross-sectional study design with comparative research approach was adopted to conduct the research. The aim of the study was to compare the newborn APGAR score on first and fifth minute in two different mode of delivery Normal Vaginal delivery (NVD) and Cesarean Delivery (CD) and its contributing factors. Newborn baby should be assessed immediately soon after the birth and the APGAR (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration) score is the most commonly used, simple and most effective method of immediate newborn assessment.
