Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Only one code may be recorded. Up to 2 additional indications may be recorded using the Birth event—additional indication for caesarean section, code N[N] once main indication is completed. Jurisdictions that record perinatal data using the ICD-10-AM may have more than one unique ICD-10-AM code that maps to a single permissible value for the Birth event—main indication for caesarean section, code N[N] and Birth event—additional indication for caesarean section, code N[N] data elements. In these cases, the relevant permissible value should only be recorded once. |
---|---|
Collection methods: | The main indication should be the indication that the clinician attending the birth determines to be the main reason for the caesarean section being performed. It should be determined at the time of delivery and not revised later or selected based on information that becomes available after delivery such as results of tests or procedures. |
