Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, unsp tri, unsp

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have demised in utero, but at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy is ongoing. It describes the maternal condition of carrying a continuing pregnancy despite the loss of one or more co-fetuses.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a multiple gestation with a confirmed intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of one or more fetuses, and the remaining fetus(es) are still alive. This code is appropriate when the specific trimester of the IUFD is not documented or is not applicable.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific type of multiple gestation (e.g., O30.0- for twin pregnancy).
• Do not use this code if all fetuses have demised; instead, use codes from category O36.4 (Intrauterine fetal death).
• Ensure documentation clearly distinguishes between a complete IUFD and a partial IUFD in a multiple gestation.
