Other multiple birth (three or more), mates liveborn and stillborn, born before admission to hospital

This code signifies a multiple gestation birth involving three or more fetuses, where at least one was born alive and at least one was stillborn. Importantly, the delivery occurred outside of a hospital setting, meaning the patient was admitted to the hospital after the birth event.

This code is appropriate for documenting the birth outcome of a triplet, quadruplet, or higher-order multiple pregnancy where there is a mix of liveborn and stillborn infants. It is specifically used when the delivery itself happened prior to the mother's admission to the hospital.

• Ensure documentation clearly states three or more fetuses were involved and specifies both liveborn and stillborn outcomes.
• Verify the birth occurred before hospital admission; if the birth occurred in the hospital, a different code would be appropriate.
• This code is for the outcome of the birth, not the maternal condition or complications.
