Hello Sir,
I am working on Angola (AOKR71FL) to understand reported antibiotic usage among children with fever or cough.
So far, I found that ml13i and ml13j are the variables for antibiotics taken for fever. However, I noticed that there are a few variables (s622,s623i,s623j_antibiotics taken during fever ) and (s646b,s646c,s646d_antibiotics taken during cough).
I want to know what is the difference between ml13i,ml13j and s623i,s623j. Both of them are for fever but the numbers are different. It seems like s623i and s623i figures are subset of ml13i and ml13j. So does s623i or s623j represents antibiotics taken at date of interview? Or ?
But s646c and s646d, it represents taken antibiotics for cough.
In that case, I should write like this to get reported antibiotic usage among children with fever or cough.
gen fevercog = (ml13i == 1 | ml13j == 1 | s646s==1 | s646d == 1)
Could you kindly suggest me?
Thank you in advance!
