Quintuplets, some liveborn

This code indicates a multiple gestation pregnancy resulting in five fetuses, where at least one of the quintuplets was born alive, but not all of them. It signifies a mixed outcome for a quintuplet birth, with both live and non-live births occurring within the same delivery event.

This code is used when documenting the outcome of a quintuplet delivery where some of the babies were liveborn and others were stillborn or fetal deaths. It would be assigned to the mother's record to specify the specific outcome of her multiple gestation.

• Always assign this code to the mother's record, not the infants'.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies quintuplets and the mixed outcome (some liveborn, some not).
• Do not use if all quintuplets were liveborn (use Z37.5) or if all were stillborn (use Z37.3).
