Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
Sorry for the delay with this reply. First, I am looking into the extra six cases that seem to be in table 10.4. Will let you know when I know more about that. Second, caseid is the id code for the mother. It is a string that includes v001, v002 v003 from the IR file, which are the same as or hv001, hv002, hvidx in the PR file. Children with the same value of caseid will have the same mother, and be in the same household, but there can be more than one eligible woman, or mother, in the same household. Children in the same household will have the same values of v001 and v002 (or hv001 and hv002). The line number in the household file (hvidx) of the child is given in the KR and BR files as b16. Third, the birth order of the children of a specific mother is indeed given by bord, which is numbered from the first birth to the most recent birth. By contrast, bidx is numbered backwards, from the most recent birth to the earliest birth.
