P05 diagnosis code: Disorders of newborn related to slow fetal growth and fetal malnutrition
- The P05 ICD 10 code under the Chapter XI: Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period, represents a range of disorders in newborns linked to slow fetal growth and malnutrition before birth.
- This code applies to conditions originating in the perinatal period, specifically those related to short gestation and low birth weight.
- The conditions this code specifies are typically identified during pregnancy or within the first 28 days of postnatal life.
- A physician might use this code to document medical conditions resulting from fetal malnutrition, such as intrauterine growth restriction or low birth weight.
- Some examples of the more specific codes under this are P05.00: Newborn light for gestational age, unspecified weight; P05.19: Newborn small for gestational age, other.
