Yes, your assumption is correct. If you start from the PR file and merge in the KR file and only use those that match, you will only have cases where the mother was alive and interviewed. In our tabulations, and specifically the table on children's nutritional status, we use all de facto children (who stayed in the household the previous night), irrespective of whether the mother was interviewed or not. For the other characteristics, we use the data from the mother via the KR or IR file if the mother was interviewed, and from the PR file (match on the mother's line number) if the mother was in the household, but not interviewed, and we set the characteristics to missing for mothers who do not live in the household or are dead. Thus we keep all of de facto children from the PR file, irrespective of whether they match with the KR file.
