ICD-10 Codes range: P00-P96

Number of Diseases: 156

These conditions can include prematurity (being born before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight, birth trauma, neonatal jaundice, and respiratory conditions like neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

Understanding this category is crucial for diagnosing, treating, and studying the prevalence of these conditions, all aimed at promoting the health and well-being of newborns.
