Study Notes

GTPAL System Overview

GTPAL stands for Gravida, Term births, Preterm births, Abortions, and Living children.
Gravida (G) refers to the total number of pregnancies.
Term (T) indicates the number of term deliveries (usually born at 37 weeks or later).
Preterm (P) reflects the number of preterm deliveries (born between 20 and 36 weeks).
Abortions (A) includes miscarriages or elective terminations before 20 weeks.
Living children (L) accounts for the number of living offspring.
