Study Notes
GPA Overview
- GPA stands for Gravida, Para, Abortus and summarizes obstetric history.
- Gravida (G) indicates the total number of pregnancies.
- Para (P) reflects the number of pregnancies carried to viable gestational age.
- Abortus (A) refers to the number of pregnancies that ended before viability.
Case Summaries
-
Case 1: Patient's history includes 1 miscarriage and 1 elective abortion.
- GPA: G2, P0, A2
-
Case 2: Patient has one living child and a history of ectopic pregnancy and 2 miscarriages.
- GPA: G4, P1, A3
-
Case 3: Patient is currently 32 weeks pregnant, has living twins, and an ectopic pregnancy in history.
- GPA: G3, P1, A1
TPAL Overview
- TPAL represents Term, Preterm, Abortus, and Living.
- Term (T) signifies pregnancies delivered at term.
- Preterm (P) indicates pregnancies delivered before term but after viability.
- Abortus (A) refers to pregnancies that ended before viability.
- Living (L) counts the number of living children.
Case Summaries
-
Case 4: Delivered preterm twins in first pregnancy.
- TPAL: T0, P1, A0, L2
-
Case 5: Carried one term pregnancy, one preterm pregnancy with twins, and had one ectopic pregnancy.
- TPAL: T1, P1, A1, L3
-
Case 6: Currently 18 weeks pregnant; has previously delivered one baby at 38 weeks and two babies at 32 weeks.
- TPAL: T1, P2, A2, L3
GTPAL Overview
- GTPAL includes Gravida, Term deliveries, Preterm deliveries, Abortions, and Living children.
- It provides a more detailed summary compared to GPA and TPAL.
Case Summaries
-
Case 7: Carried 2 pregnancies to 38 weeks, 1 at 34 weeks with twins, with 1 abortion and 4 living children.
- GTPAL: G4, T2, P1, A1, L4
-
Case 8: Involves 1 pregnancy to 37 weeks with twins, 1 pregnancy to 26 weeks with fetal demise, and another to 34 weeks.
- GTPAL: G3, T1, P2, A0, L3
-
Case 9: Gave birth at term once and had a miscarriage at 12 weeks.
- GTPAL: G2, T1, P0, A1, L1
