About Chapter 16
Conditions originating around birth can involve a newborn’s growth, the birth process, infections, or how the body functions.
The groups begin with newborns affected by maternal factors or complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Other groups distinguish conditions related to time in the womb or fetal growth, abnormal newborn screening findings, and birth injuries.
Further groups separate breathing and heart or blood vessel disorders, infections, bleeding and blood disorders, temporary hormone and body-chemistry disorders, digestive disorders, and skin or temperature-regulation conditions. The final groups cover other newborn problems and other conditions originating around birth.
