Example
- Parity
- 1
- Duration of labor
- 1
- Contraction duration
- 1
- Interval between contractions

Result: Malinas score 6 of 10 — delivery likely imminent (>= 6).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- < 6
- Transport to a maternity unit feasible.
- >= 6
- Delivery likely imminent (parity + labor duration + contraction duration + interval + membranes, each 0-2). A prehospital triage score, not a diagnosis.
What you enter
