Insights

The International Classification of Disease Perinatal Mortality (ICD-PM) has seen limited global use. Enhancements to ICD-PM are needed to establish it as a universal standard for classifying perinatal deaths, reducing preventable mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Health
  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Medical Classification Systems

Background:

  • Over 5 million annual perinatal deaths worldwide, many preventable.
  • The International Classification of Disease Perinatal Mortality (ICD-PM) is a key tool for cause categorization.
  • Understanding global ICD-PM utilization is crucial for improving perinatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe experiences from the international utilization of ICD-PM.
  • To assess the current global adoption and challenges of ICD-PM.
  • To inform future development and standardization of ICD-PM.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review utilizing PRISMA-SCR guidelines.
  • Searched Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus (Jan 2016 - Apr 2022).
  • Included 32 studies after rigorous selection and analysis.

Main Results:

  • Six main themes and eight strategies emerged from content analysis.
  • Identified limited global utilization of the ICD-PM system.
  • Highlighted areas for improvement and implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Global utilization of ICD-PM remains limited.
  • The upcoming ICD revision offers an opportunity to enhance ICD-PM.
  • Standardizing ICD-PM is essential for accurate perinatal mortality classification and reduction.

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...
