Newborn aff by maternal use of nutritional chemical substnc

This code signifies a newborn exhibiting adverse effects due to the mother's ingestion or exposure to chemical substances primarily for nutritional purposes during pregnancy. This includes substances like excessive vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements that, when consumed in large quantities, can be harmful to the developing fetus. The newborn may present with various symptoms or conditions directly attributable to this maternal exposure.

Apply this code when the medical record clearly documents a newborn's condition as a direct consequence of the mother's use of nutritional chemical substances during gestation. This typically involves cases where the mother consumed excessive amounts of vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements that led to a toxic effect or developmental anomaly in the neonate. Documentation should specify the substance and its impact on the newborn.

• Distinguish from maternal use of illicit drugs or prescribed medications; those have separate codes.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly links the newborn's condition to the maternal nutritional substance use.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the specific condition or symptom manifested by the newborn.
