Sophia, a 27-year-old woman, at 10 weeks gestation presents to the hospital with bleeding, abdominal pain, and sudden abdominal cramps. She is diagnosed with an incomplete spontaneous abortion with pelvic peritonitis. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. O03.1
  2. O03.4
  3. O03.0
  4. O03.7
Explanation
Answer: C 

O03.0 is an appropriate code for this case because it is used to specify the infection in the genital tract and pelvis following incomplete spontaneous abortion. 

Option A is not correct because O03.1 is used to specify delayed or excessive hemorrhage following incomplete spontaneous abortion. 

Option B is not correct because O03.4 is used to specify incomplete spontaneous abortion without complication. 

Option D is not correct because O037 is used to specify embolism following complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion.
