Computing Newborn Mortality rates
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=18911&th=8745#msg_18911
I am working on neonatal data. I want to generate the time to death in days. My research question is survival time and predictors among neonates using Ethiopian 2016 DHS. Age at death is recorded as 0 for death and else otherwise, B7(months, imputed). The current age of the child also recorded in months (B19. Please Can I get help on how to compute the time to death(time to event)as well as the censoring time? It can be in SPSS/ STATA or R.
Thanks!]]>getiye2020-03-15T03:57:30-00:00Re: Computing Newborn Mortality rates

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
We cannot help with the details. This a generic question about failure or survival models. You have b19, which is age in months, as you say. If b7=0, then the child died during the first month. If b7>0 the child died later. If b7=. (a dot, for Not Applicable), then the child was still living at the time of the survey (also indicated with b5=1). For early neonatal deaths, you use b6. For example, if b6<107, (the 1 indicates days) then the child died in the first week. ]]>Bridgette-DHS2020-03-24T18:27:31-00:00Re: Computing Newborn Mortality rates
