The method in this study was Observational Analytic study with Cross Sectional Sample design was 237 newborn baby who suffered asphyxia. The data were analyzed using regression correlation test. The findings in this research indicated that there was a correlation between newborn baby’s body weight and Hb levels with APGAR score who suffered asphyxia at RSUD NTB in 2016 with (P value = 0.01) and shows a weak relationship and patterned a positive value (r = 0,158), (r = 0,206). A suggestion for further research on fetus’ Hb levels and APGAR score with different research design and set the sample criteria relate to factors of pregnancy and labor.
