ICD-10 code O60 (ICD-10-CM) represents preterm labor, which is the onset of labor before 37 completed weeks of gestation. This code is used for emergency situations. Preterm labor can be caused by various factors such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or physical stress. It is important to seek urgent care if you or someone you know experiences preterm labor, as it can lead to complications for both the mother and the baby.
