Javascript neo4j-driver, the proper way to extract results

So I run this simple request:

const res = await session.run('MATCH p=(t:Account {account_id: '123598'})--(j) return count(j)')

And to catch the count I have to dig:

const count = res.records[0]._fields[0].low

It feels I'm doing it the wrong way, I mean it will work but doesn't look great.

Is this the way to go or did I miss better way to get the result/count ?
