Quintuplets, all liveborn

This code signifies a multiple gestation birth event where five infants were delivered, and all five were born alive. It specifically indicates a successful delivery of quintuplets with no fetal deaths.

This code is used on the mother's medical record to indicate the outcome of a delivery involving five liveborn infants. It would be assigned after the completion of the delivery when the live birth status of all five newborns has been confirmed.

• This code is for the mother's record, not the infants'.
• Ensure all five infants were liveborn; if any were stillborn, a different Z37 code would be appropriate.
• Do not use this code for the delivery of fewer or more than five liveborn infants.
