P90-P96: Other disorders originating in the perinatal period
Other disorders originating in the perinatal period, coded as P90-P96 in the ICD-10, refer to a group of various conditions that can affect a newborn around the time of birth, specifically the time immediately before, during, or after delivery. Some of these conditions can result due to factors such as birth trauma, exposure to harmful substances in the womb, or metabolic disturbances. Common symptoms may include difficulty in breathing, low birth weight, discoloration of the skin, and a poor feeding response, although symptoms can vary significantly based on the specific underlying disorder. The disorders may affect several bodily systems like the respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, or nervous systems, altering the normal physiological processes. Disease progression also varies, some conditions may resolve on their own while others may require close monitoring and medical interventions.
