Other multiple liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean
ICD-10 Z38.69 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other multiple liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean.
Z38.69 is used to classify other multiple liveborn infants who are delivered via cesarean section. This code is crucial for capturing the complexities associated with multiple births, which often require specialized care and monitoring. Factors influencing health status include maternal health, socioeconomic status, and access to prenatal care, which can significantly affect outcomes for both the mother and infants. Preventive care measures, such as regular prenatal visits and screenings for gestational diabetes or hypertension, are essential in managing the health of mothers expecting multiples. Social determinants of health, including education, income, and community resources, play a vital role in the health of these families. Aftercare for both the mother and infants is critical, as multiple births can lead to increased risks of complications, necessitating follow-up care and support services.
