A request has been received regarding the terming of the concept 169826009 |Single live birth (finding)| as it could be interpreted to mean a single live birth from a singleton pregnancy or alternatively a single live birth from a multiple pregnancy. The requester suggested it be re-termed to make it clear it was from a singleton pregnancy.
This concept has high usage when looking at UK usage data.
The concept looks to be derived from ICD 10. In ICD Z37 Outcome of delivery has the exact wording: Z37.0 Single live birth. The category then goes on to have separate ICD-10 codes for other birth outcomes.
The meaning of this concept needs to be clarified. This could be undertaken through inactivation and replacement (but it is a high usage concept) or alternatively, description changes.
Possible new concepts would be:
Live birth from singleton pregnancy
Live birth from multiple pregnancy.
Input from the CMAG is being sought on:
- the meaning of that concept in your country
- usage in your country
- the preferred solution for your country
Please provide your responses by the end of July. If additional time is needed please let us know.
Response due date extended until 6th September.
Thank you.
