ICD-10 Clinic - Book 10: Abortion and Congenital

Two subjects that need precision in the words as much as in the codes. The first block of the obstetric chapter covers pregnancies that end before a live birth, and the classification uses technical terms that do not mean what everyday speech means: this book defines each one and shows exactly which category applies, including the split beginners get wrong most often between an uncomplicated termination and a complication following one. Part two covers congenital conditions, and corrects the assumption that they are only for babies: these codes may be used throughout the life of the patient. It ends with the birth admission and the one code that leads a newborn's very first record. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
