Newborn affected by maternal nutritional disorders

This code identifies a newborn whose health status is adversely impacted by the mother's pre-existing or gestational nutritional deficiencies or excesses. This includes conditions like maternal malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, obesity, or gestational diabetes that directly influence the infant's development or postnatal health.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a newborn's condition (e.g., intrauterine growth restriction, hypoglycemia, macrosomia, specific congenital anomalies) to a maternal nutritional disorder. Supporting documentation should include the mother's nutritional diagnosis and evidence of the newborn's affected status.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the newborn's specific condition (e.g., P05.0 for low birth weight).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the maternal nutritional disorder and its impact on the newborn.
• Do not use this code for conditions solely due to maternal metabolic disorders without a clear nutritional component.
