Conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation of newborn (P80-P83)

ICD-10 codes P80-P83 classify conditions related to the skin and temperature control challenges specifically seen in newborns. These codes cover issues such as hypothermia, hyperthermia, edema, and various skin disorders unique to the neonatal period.

This range includes P80 codes addressing low body temperature like hypothermia and cold injury syndrome in newborns, including terms like "newborn thermal injury" and "neonatal traumatic disorder." The P81 codes address disturbances of temperature regulation, such as environmental hyperthermia and fever-like states often termed as "swinging fever" or "neonatal dehydration." Conditions involving the newborn's skin and related features are found under P83, covering disorders like sclerema neonatorum (thickening of skin and fat necrosis), neonatal erythema toxicum (a common rash), congenital hydrocele, and specific newborn integument issues like umbilical granuloma. These codes help healthcare providers accurately document and track newborn conditions affecting skin integrity and thermal balance, essential for newborn care and specialized treatments.
