Urinary tract infection fol failed attempt term of pregnancy

This code signifies a urinary tract infection (UTI) that develops as a complication after an unsuccessful attempt to terminate a pregnancy. It indicates a direct causal link between the failed procedure and the subsequent infection of the urinary system.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a UTI occurred following a failed attempt at pregnancy termination. The medical record should specify both the failed termination and the diagnosis of a UTI, with an explicit or implicit connection between the two events.

• Always sequence this code after a code indicating the failed attempted termination of pregnancy (e.g., O07.4).
• Ensure documentation specifies "failed" or "unsuccessful" termination; this code is not for UTIs following successful terminations.
• Do not use this code if the UTI is unrelated to the failed termination attempt.
