Using the GTPAL system,4-1-2-0-4 is the correct calculation of this woman's gravidity and parity.The numbers reflect the woman's gravidity and parity information.Her information is calculated as: G reflects the total number of times the woman has been pregnant; she is pregnant for the fourth time.T indicates the number of pregnancies carried to term,not the number of deliveries at term; only one of her pregnancies resulted in a fetus at term.P is the number of pregnancies that resulted in a preterm birth; the woman has had two pregnancies in which she delivered preterm.A signifies whether the woman has had any abortions or miscarriages before the period of viability; she has not.L signifies the number of children born who are currently living; the woman has four children.3-1-1-1-3 is an incorrect calculation of this woman's gravidity and parity; 3-0-3-0-3 is an incorrect calculation of this woman's gravidity and parity; and 4-2-1-0-3 is an incorrect calculation of this woman's gravidity and parity.
