Quadruplets, all liveborn
ICD-10 Z37.52 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of quadruplets, all liveborn.
Z37.52 is used to indicate that a patient has delivered quadruplets, all of whom are liveborn. This code is essential for capturing the complexity of multiple births, which can significantly influence maternal and neonatal health outcomes. The delivery of quadruplets often requires specialized prenatal care, including increased monitoring for complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm labor. Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and support systems, play a crucial role in the health of both the mother and the infants. Preventive care measures, including regular prenatal visits, nutritional counseling, and mental health support, are vital for ensuring the well-being of the mother and her quadruplets. Screening for potential health issues in both the mother and the newborns is also critical, as multiple births can lead to higher rates of complications. Aftercare for both the mother and the infants involves ongoing assessments and interventions to address any health concerns that may arise post-delivery.
Documentation should include details of prenatal visits, screenings performed, and any complications encountered during pregnancy.
Routine checkups during pregnancy, screenings for gestational diabetes, and aftercare visits for the mother and infants.
Consideration of social support systems and access to healthcare services for the mother and her quadruplets.
Documentation should focus on population health data, including outcomes for multiple births and access to prenatal care.
Epidemiological studies on multiple births and preventive health initiatives targeting high-risk pregnancies.
Tracking health disparities and outcomes related to social determinants of health.
Used in conjunction with Z37.52 for mothers who smoke and are pregnant with quadruplets.
Document counseling sessions and smoking status.
Primary care providers should address smoking cessation as part of prenatal care.
Documentation should include details of the delivery, health status of all four infants, and any complications or preventive measures taken during pregnancy.
