Guide for use:![]() | All therapies prescribed during pregnancy should be recorded. Therefore more than one code can be selected when reporting this item. CODE 2 Oral hypoglycaemic This code includes the options of sulphonylurea, biguanide (e.g. metformin), alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, thiazolidinedione, meglitinide, combination (e.g. biguanide and sulphonylurea), or other. CODE 3 Diet and exercise This code includes the options of generalised prescribed diet; avoid added sugar/simple carbohydrates (CHOs); low joule diet; portion exchange diet and uses glycaemic index and a recommendation for increased exercise. CODE 9 Not stated/inadequately described To be recorded by data entry personnel (state/territory health authority) if the data field is left blank or is inadequately completed in the perinatal data collection form or extract.

Collection methods:![]() | Jurisdictions that record perinatal data using the ICD-10-AM should apply the following codes, noting that the ICD-10-AM uses a hierarchical coding system for therapy type, and therefore not all types of therapy will necessarily be recorded: 'Code 1 Insulin' is equivalent in the ICD-10-AM to a code in the range O24.1–O24.9 used in conjunction with the fifth character '2' (insulin treated). Note that where a female has Type 1 diabetes, there is no equivalent fifth character applied to the ICD-10-AM code because Type 1 diabetes is always insulin-treated. 'Code 2 Oral hypoglycaemic' is equivalent in the ICD-10-AM to a code in the range O24.1–O24.9 used in conjunction with the fifth character '3' (oral hypoglycaemic therapy). 'Code 3 Diet and exercise' is equivalent in the ICD-10-AM to a code in the range O24.1–O24.9 used in conjunction with the fifth character '4' (other; diet; exercise; lifestyle management). For example, for a female who has pre-existing Type 2 diabetes mellitus and uses oral hypoglycaemic therapy and insulin, this would be coded in the ICD-10-AM as O2412 and would be reported against this data item using Code 1. | ||||||||
