Z30-Z39: Persons encountering health services in circumstances related to reproduction
Z37: Outcome of delivery
The "Outcome of Delivery" group of conditions is classified under the Z37 code. These conditions are solely related to the result of a childbirth process, encompassing a range of scenarios that may happen during delivery. It includes both single and multiple pregnancies, as well as those that led to the birth of a live baby or babies, stillbirths, or a combination of both. The outcome of delivery isn't determined by a specific cause or transmitted in any way, but it may vary based on a variety of factors such as the mother's health, prenatal care, or unexpected complications during labor. There aren't any typical symptoms associated with this group of conditions since it's primarily a classification tool for the end result of the pregnancy. The progression of the conditions is directly tied to the childbirth process, affecting the reproductive system of the mother and the overall health status of the newborn(s).
