Hi,
I obtained estimates by running tfr2 command in Stata using 2022 DHS data of Bangladesh. Nevertheless, some of the tfr2-produced results such as the Number of person-years (weighted): 101119.64 and the confidence interval: (2.285 to 2.388) do not exactly match with that in the 2022 DHS report showing No. of cases weighted: 101,121 and the confidence interval: (2.276 to 2.397). For details, please see the attached pic.

Can anyone please tell me the reasons of such mismatch and the remedial measures. Thanks in advance.
