Complication of labor and delivery, NOS: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* 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.

~~{{DiscussTask |~~

**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]].

* ~~AFAIK we are coding~~ the ~~record~~ for the ~~patient~~, ~~not~~ the ~~baby. Someone had added here~~ that ~~this is for the baby~~, ~~so I changed it back~~. ~~I seem to remember we were explicit about this in some other diagnoses~~.

** 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.

** Could this be ~~applicable~~ as a ~~comorb for patients that have histories of this type of injury as a baby? Perhaps we should ommit "~~of ~~the parent" or "of the baby"~~ and ~~leave as generic? (Pam)~~

*** Would we not then just code the problem that was caused? I am fine with either way we do this, but would like to bring it up at Task. [[~~User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen~~]] ~~11:03~~, ~~2023 January 4 (CST)~~
