Guide for use: | To calculate parity, count all previous pregnancies that resulted in a live birth or a stillbirth of at least 20 weeks gestation or at least 400 grams birthweight. Excluded from the count are:
A primipara (a female giving birth for the first time) has a parity of 0. |
---|---|
Collection methods: | A pregnancy with multiple fetuses is counted as one pregnancy. |
Comments: | The number of previous pregnancies that resulted in a birth is an important component of the female's reproductive history. Parity may be a risk factor for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. |
