Original New
Scores range from 5 to 50 (26w - 44w) Scores range from -0 to 50 (20w - 44w)
Score starts with 0 Score starts with -1
Inaccurate in extremely preterm More accurate
Not include eye assessment Include eye assessment
NEW BALLARD SCORE

1. Neuromuscular maturity
• Posture
• Square window test
• Arm recoil
• Popliteal angle
• Scarf sign
• Heal to ear test
2. Physical maturity
• Skin texture, colour and opacity
• Lanugo
• Plantar surface
• Breast
• Eye/ear
• Genitals
1) POSTURE
• Observe in supine position at rest
• Score is assigned based on degree
2) SCARF SIGN
Grasp the hands and pull the arm
across the chest and around neck
The point on the chest which the
elbow moves
• full scarf (-1)
• contralateral axillary line(0)
• contralateral nipple line (1)
• xyphoid process (2)
• ipsilateral nipple line (3)
• ipsilateral axillary line (4)
3) ARM RECOIL
• Flex the neonates arms for 5 sec

hands and release
4) SQUARE WINDOW
• Fully flexed infants hands on the
wrist joint without rotating the
wrist
• Measured angle between forearm
and palm
5) POPLITEAL ANGLE
• Holds the knee adjacent to the
chest and abdomen, extend the
leg with index finger
• Measure angle between lower leg,
thigh and posterior knee
6) HEEL TO EAR
Grasp one foot and draw foot as
near to head as possible
1) EYE/EAR
• Lids open and complete
eyelash develop at term
• <34w pinna stays folded
• Incurving upper pinna at 34w
• At 36w some cartilage present
and will spring back
2) BREAST
• Areola raised by 34w
• A 1-2mm nodule palpable by 36w and
become 10mm by 40w
3) SKIN
Less transparent and thicker with increasing
gestational age
4) LANUGO
Fine downy hair
covering fetus
from 20-28w
6) GENITALIA
Male:
• Testes descend by 28w
• At 37w testes can be palpated high
in scrotum and completely
descended by 40w
Female:
Early gestation, clitoris prominent
and widely separated labia
6) PLANTAR SURFACE
• 28-30w appear and cover anterior
portion of plantar surface
• Extend toward heels as GA increases
20 w = -10
30 w = 15
40 w = 40
Score + 5 = GA + 2
Extremely preterm: <28w

Breech presentation -knee and legs straightened or tin FROG position Birth mark Mongolian spot Blue –green or gray pigmentation Lower back, sacrum & buttocks Disappears by 4 y/o age Port wine stain Capillary malformation Flat red to purple, sharply demarcated with dense area beneath the capillaries Usually at face a/w sturge-weber syndrome Others: Mottling ( cutis marmorata) Reticulated pattern of constricted capillaries and venules Due to vasomotor instability in inmature infant Bluish mottling- in response to chilling, stress or overstimullation Café au laif spot Tan or light brown macules or pathcees No pathological significant, if < 3cm in length and < 6 in number If >3 and > 6 cutaneous neurofibromatosis
  3. Abnormal swelling or bruises of the scalp 1.caput succedaneum (edematous swelling of presenting part) -due to pressure against cevix during crowning - Swelling subside within days 2. cephalohaematoma (subperiosteal haemorrhage) due to plonged second stage / instrumental delivery Resolve spontaneously within 4-6weeks Limited by suture line May complicated with: Anemia, jaundice Calcified( hard around edge but sof in centre- will resolve Hypotension Focus of infection:meningitis/ osteomyelitis 3. subglial haematoma (bleeding below epicranial aponeurosis, above the periosteum) Diffused head swelling that shift with repositioning and indents on palpation Swelling not limited by suture line-may extend to the orbits and the subcutaneous muscles of the neck Since the Subgaleal space is capable of holding large volume of the baby's blood, it may result in haemorrhagic shock.  SAH- Subarachnoid hemorrhage Prolonged labour, forcep or ventouse delivery Presure exerted on baby head during labour +/- hematology disorder Features: apnea, seizure, lethargy Bulging of fontanelle, HC increase rapidly, lack of symmetric movement Ix: FBC, coagulation profile, CT brain or USG ranium Fontanelle – -Anterior fontanelle is diamond in shape Posterior fontanelle is triangular in shape Abnormal: macrocephaly/ microcephaly macrocephaly – hydrocephalus  + dilated scalp veins, bulging anterior fontanelle, separation of suture lines, sun-setting eyes #craniosynostosis- premature closure of the fontanelles
  4. dysmorphic features such as low set ears, hypertelorism -distance between 2 medial canthi is > size of 1 eye up slanting eyes flat nasal bridge Sucking/ rooting reflex: -touch the lip. Cheeck or corner of the mouth= turn head toward
  5. Palmar grasp reflex Place finger in the palm of baby- curl or grasp the finger
  6. Male – Prepuce covers glans of penis- adherent to foreskin = phimosis Scrotum – enlarged = hernia/ hydrocyele (illumation test) Urethral meatus – ventral / dorsal = hypo/epispadias Testes – undesended= cryptorchidism Female – Vaginal discharge is not seen/ seen. Urethral meatus, vaginal opening ,clitoris, labia majora and labia minora are present. Anus is patent.
  7. Plantar reflex: Place finger at the base of the toes = toes curls downward
  8. Simple sacral dimple: -solitary dimple -<5mm in diameter, < 2.5 cm from the anus -midline location No visible drainage -no associated cutaneous stigmata such as hemangioma, skin tag or tail  no need firther imaging eg. Xray or USG of the back
  9. Maturational assessment of newborn Ideally within first 24 hours
  10. Neuromuscular signs more reliable than physical Higher GA  more brain growth  neuro muscular more mature
  11. Increase passive flexor tone, decrease joint laxity (in centripetal direction)  higher score In caudo cephalad : lower limb mature first then upper limb 1 sign = general 3 signs = upper limbs 2 signs = lower limbs Popliteal angle = -1 to +5 Posture and arm recoil = 0 to +4 Others = -1 to +4
  12. POSTURE: baby should be in well flexed, if more extended, flaccid – premature infant SCARF SIGN: decrease distance pull of arm to contralateral side – higher score – more mature
  13. ARM RECOIL: pull arm down, should recoil back SQUARE WINDOW: wrist flexibility, prem cannot bend, term baby can bend wrist until hit the arm (max passive flexor tone, min passive extensor tone)
  14. POPLITEAL ANGLE: flex hip joint, if can go to face, more premature HEEL TO EAR: bend knee, try to extend the knee, if can go to ear, more premature
  15. Eyes/ear Breast bud Skin Lanugo Genital male Genital female Plantar surface Score -1 to +4 for all -1 to +5 for skin
  16. Eye ear: thin and fused  thick and stiff cartilage
  17. Breast bud: imperceptible to developed with areolar
  18. Skin: thin and friable  leathery and wrinkled Lanugo: in very premature  no lanugo
  19. Genitals: smooth scrotum  pendulous testes with rugae prominent clitoris  majora covering clitoris and minora
  20. Plantar surface: no creases  crease entire soles
  21. 26 = 34w 27 = 34w 28 = 35w 29 = 35w
