~~incl infection, complications~~ of obstetrical surgery/procedures

Includes:

* Infection

* Complications of obstetrical surgery/procedures

* For anoxic brain injuries of the parent acquired during labor and delivery combine with [[Anoxic brain injury, NOS]]

* As our database is only for adult patients, this code should NOT be used to indicate such a complication for a newborn. For example: During hospitalization, such a complication occurs, but it ''only'' affects the newborn and has no medical consequence for the mother --- do NOT use this code.

**Of course, for some such complications when the newborn with a complication becomes an adult, that problem persists, e.g. [[Fetal Alcohol Syndrome]]. If that adult is then admitted, it is the specific problem (such as [[Fetal Alcohol Syndrome]]) that should be listed as a [[Comorbid Diagnoses]] -- again you would NOT code [[Complication of labor and delivery, NOS]].

** The only time [[Complication of labor and delivery, NOS]] would be coded is when the mother herself incurs a complication of labor or delivery, AND there is not a more specific code for the complication she suffered.
