ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 12: Perinatal Cases

Chapter 16 is the mirror image of Chapter 15. Its codes are for the baby and never the mother, and it has its own sequencing rules that override the ones you have been using since Book 1. This book covers the birth record and its Z38 code, the birth weight and gestational age pair, conditions the baby has because of the mother, newborn sepsis and breathing problems, and the rule that decides when a newborn finding is coded at all.

The ten chapters:

1. The Z38 code

2. Weight before age

3. Small for dates

4. When a finding counts

5. Because of the mother

6. Breathing

7. Newborn sepsis

8. Jaundice, sugar and feeding

9. How long it lasts

10. Perinatal and congenital

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.
