Cont preg aft spon abort of one fts or more, unsp tri, fts5

This code signifies an ongoing multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have been spontaneously aborted, but at least one fetus remains viable. It describes the maternal condition of continuing gestation following the loss of a co-twin or co-fetus, without specifying the trimester of the initial loss. The '5' in the seventh character indicates that the remaining viable fetus is fetus 5.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a multifetal pregnancy with a confirmed spontaneous abortion of one or more fetuses, and at least one fetus is still viable. This is used when the specific trimester of the abortion is not documented. Documentation should specify which fetus (e.g., fetus 5) is the continuing pregnancy.

• Ensure documentation specifies which fetus is continuing the pregnancy.
• Do not use if the spontaneous abortion occurred in a previous pregnancy or if all fetuses were lost.
• Sequence this code after the primary obstetric complication (e.g., threatened abortion, missed abortion if applicable to the lost fetus).
