Rationale
Currently surfactant deficiency arising in the perinatal period is classified to P28.0 Primary atelectasis of newborn. However, research and clinical input from a Consultant Neonatologist indicates that surfactant deficiency causes respiratory distress and does not always result in atelectasis, therefore we request that this index entry is changed to direct to P22.0 Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn.
