Other low birth weight newborn, 1000-1249 grams
ICD-10 P07.14 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other low birth weight newborn, 1000-1249 grams.
P07.14 refers to newborns who weigh between 1000 and 1249 grams at birth, categorized as other low birth weight newborns. This classification is crucial as low birth weight can be associated with various maternal factors such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and inadequate prenatal care. Delivery complications, including preterm labor and placental insufficiency, can also contribute to low birth weight. Newborns in this weight category are at increased risk for complications such as respiratory distress syndrome, infections, and long-term developmental issues. Proper coding and documentation are essential to ensure appropriate care and resource allocation for these vulnerable infants. The management of these newborns often requires specialized neonatal care, including monitoring in a NICU setting, nutritional support, and interventions to address any immediate health concerns.
