Cont preg aft spon abort of one fetus or more, 2nd tri, fts5

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have been spontaneously aborted, but at least one fetus continues to develop. This specific code applies when the spontaneous abortion occurred during the second trimester (14 weeks 0 days to 27 weeks 6 days gestation) and refers to the fifth fetus in a multiple gestation.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a multifetal pregnancy with a partial spontaneous abortion in the second trimester, and the remaining fetus(es) are still viable. The medical record must specify the trimester of the fetal demise and identify the specific fetus (e.g., "demise of fetus A, fetus B continuing").

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the ongoing pregnancy (e.g., O30.x for multiple gestation).
• Ensure the documentation specifies which fetus(es) were spontaneously aborted and which fetus(es) are continuing.
• Verify the gestational age at the time of the spontaneous abortion to confirm it falls within the second trimester.
