It is essential for healthcare providers to accurately document these cases to ensure appropriate follow-up care and management, as well as to inform future reproductive health decisions for the patient.

O07 includes cases where an attempted termination of pregnancy has failed, such as incomplete abortions, retained products of conception, or unsuccessful medical abortion attempts.
O07 codes should be used when there is documentation of a failed termination attempt, indicating that the procedure did not achieve its intended outcome and further medical intervention may be necessary.
