O33 includes conditions such as cephalopelvic disproportion, fetal macrosomia, and other scenarios where the size or shape of the fetus or maternal pelvis may lead to complications during delivery.
O33 codes should be used when there is clinical documentation indicating a risk of disproportion that may affect the delivery process, particularly when planning for potential interventions.
Documentation must include clinical findings that support the diagnosis of disproportion, any imaging studies performed, and a clear plan for management or intervention.
