TABLE OF CONTENTS

Note that O62.9 is a 'not elsewhere classified' code, so where documentation specifies the cause of the FTP, code the cause instead of O62.9. The clinical scenarios cited (FTP 1st stage and FTP 2nd stage) do not specify any cause for the FTP. Therefore O62.9 Abnormality of forces of labour unspecified should be assigned in both of these incidences. ................
