Triplets, some liveborn

This code indicates a multiple gestation pregnancy involving three fetuses where at least one of the triplets was born alive. It specifically addresses the outcome of a triplet birth, distinguishing it from other multiple gestations or situations where all fetuses were stillborn.

Use this code when documenting the birth event of triplets where one or more of the infants were liveborn. This applies to the mother's record to indicate the specific type of multiple birth outcome. It is typically assigned after delivery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a triplet birth and that at least one infant was liveborn.
• Do not use this code if all triplets were stillborn; a different code for stillbirths of multiple gestations would be appropriate.
• This code is for the maternal record; separate codes will be used for the newborn records.
