Description
The description of both Patient.multipleBirthInteger and Extension: Patient Multiple Birth Total are ambiguous as they do not specify whether or not they include fetal losses as well as live births.
We recommend updating as follows:
- Patient.multipleBirthInteger (https://loinc.org/73771-8/) "The order born in the delivery, live born or fetal death (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc.). All live births and fetal losses are included."
- Extension: Patient Multiple Birth Total (R5+) (https://loinc.org/57722-1/) "The number of fetuses delivered live or dead at any time in the pregnancy regardless of gestational age or if the fetuses were delivered at different dates in the pregnancy."
