Single stillbirth

This code signifies the intrauterine death of a single fetus at any gestational age, where the fetus is delivered without signs of life. It specifically applies to a singleton pregnancy that results in a stillbirth, indicating the absence of a live birth.

Use this code when documenting the outcome of a singleton pregnancy where the fetus is delivered deceased. This applies to cases of fetal demise confirmed prior to or at the time of delivery, regardless of the cause.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a singleton pregnancy.
• Distinguish from multiple gestation stillbirths, which have different codes.
• Assign additional codes for the cause of stillbirth, if known and documented.
