APPENDIX I
ITOP reportings interpreted as Fetal Deaths

A statement from Part D describes when a record containing an ITOP term can be included in the fetal death file:

“Induced terminations of pregnancy should be included in the fetal death file only when the fetus was known dead before the procedure and when the induction was performed for the sole purpose of removing an already-dead fetus.”

To help aid in this often difficult determination, consider reportings such as the below to be indications that the fetus was deceased and the procedure was to remove the already-dead fetus (note:reportings can be in either part). Records such as the below will remain as part of the fetal death file.
