-
GTPAL:
- G: Total number of pregnancies

- IUFD (Intrauterine fetal demise) at 19 weeks: Classified as an abortion (A).
- Live birth at 36.6 weeks: Classified as preterm (P).
- Live birth at 42.1 weeks: Classified as term (T).
GTPAL Values Examples
- First pregnancy: GTPAL notation is G1P0000.
- 5th pregnancy with specific outcomes: One miscarriage at 14 weeks, one stillbirth at 23 weeks, and two births greater than 37 weeks results in GTPAL notation G5P2112.
