ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 11: Abortion, Ectopic and Congenital

The first half of this book finishes Chapter 15: the pregnancies that end before a live birth, and the complications that follow them. The rules are precise and the wording in the record matters more than almost anywhere else in coding. The second half opens Chapter 17, the congenital chapter, whose codes may be used at any age and which behaves very differently from everything around it.

The ten chapters:

1. Ectopic and molar

2. Spontaneous loss

3. Termination

4. Complications

5. Sequencing

6. The any-age rule

7. Congenital heart conditions

8. Clefts, gut and the body wall

9. Chromosomal and syndromes

10. Three chapters compared

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
