Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to P28.89: its own notes plus those printed at P28 and Chapter 16. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

- conditions that have their origin in the fetal or perinatal period (before birth through the first 28 days after birth) even if morbidity occurs later
Applicable To
Conditions this code is used for: synonyms of the title or, for "other specified" codes, the conditions assigned to it. The list is not exhaustive.
- Congenital laryngeal stridor
- Sniffles in newborn
- Snuffles in newborn
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
- early congenital syphilitic rhinitis (A50.05)
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

Lung Diseases
When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease.
