Our study adds information from a low-resource setting to the recent evidence from high-resource settings about prolonging the resuscitation in infants with Apgar scores of 0-1 at 10 min. The vast majority died in the delivery room despite prolonged resuscitative efforts. We confirm that duration of resuscitation should be tailored to the setting, while the focus in low-resource settings should be improving the quality of antenatal and immediately after birth care.
