Outcome of delivery, single liveborn

AIClinical Context

Clinical Description

This code indicates that a single infant was born alive following a delivery. It signifies a successful live birth outcome for one baby, without complications related to the number of fetuses or their viability at birth.

When to Use

This code is used on the mother's medical record to document the outcome of a delivery where only one live infant was born. It is typically assigned after a singleton pregnancy has resulted in a live birth.

Coding Tips

This code is assigned to the mother's record, not the infant's.
Do not use for multiple gestations, stillbirths, or abortions.
Always assign in conjunction with a code from the V27 series to fully describe the outcome of delivery.
