  1. The most common ICD-10 codes and description of the codes are listed for women who gave birth to infants with NOWS at Geisinger during the interval, 11/2007–4/2019. These are only those NOWS children and mothers who have been seen at Geisinger in the past 2 years, so they are active patients. The ICD-10 code count (from a total of 473 mothers) with each ICD-10 code and the percent (from a total of 473) is given. The term, three calls, indicates that three instances of an ICD-10 code was sufficient for that code to be included. In the bottom panel, the year of birth for the NOWS infants is listed. Note the trend for greater numbers of NOWS infants born at Geisinger in the last decade
