Complications associated with artificial fertilization
Chapter 14:Diseases of the genitourinary system
ICD-10 N98 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of complications associated with artificial fertilization.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code N98 pertains to complications associated with artificial fertilization, which includes a range of conditions that may arise during or after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). These complications can encompass ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancies, and multiple gestations, among others. The clinical significance of this category lies in its ability to capture the adverse effects that may affect both maternal and fetal health, thereby facilitating appropriate management and intervention strategies. Accurate coding of these complications is essential for monitoring outcomes, ensuring patient safety, and improving the quality of care provided to individuals undergoing fertility treatments.
Detailed documentation of ART procedures performed, complications encountered, and any relevant patient history.
Management of complications like ectopic pregnancy post-IVF, assessment of pelvic pain, and monitoring of multiple gestations.
Ensure accurate coding of complications; differentiate between pre-existing conditions and those arising from ART.
Complete records of prenatal care, ART protocols followed, and management of complications such as OHSS.
Monitoring patients undergoing IVF, managing pregnancies resulting from ART, and addressing complications such as multiple gestations.
Accurate documentation of gestational age and complications is crucial for coding and management.
Thorough documentation of hormonal assessments and treatments related to ART, including patient response and complications.
Evaluating hormone levels in patients experiencing OHSS or other endocrine-related complications post-ART.
Consider the impact of hormonal therapies on ART outcomes when coding.
Indication for surgery, findings during laparoscopy, and post-operative care details.
Histological findings, reason for ablation, and patient's reproductive history.
Detailed pathology report and clinical history related to the tissue specimen.
Patient consent, laboratory findings, and method of sperm preparation.
N98 includes complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancies resulting from ART, and complications arising from multiple gestations, among others.
N98 codes should be used when documenting complications that arise during or after artificial fertilization procedures, particularly when these complications impact patient management or outcomes.
Documentation should include detailed clinical notes describing the nature of the complication, the treatment provided, and any relevant patient history that supports the diagnosis.
