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!
Phyumar

Dear User,
In the recode application done with CSPro
ML13I(i) = RecodeMedicine( S623I(i) {Xarope}, x {Comprimidos o Xarope}, 10 ); //antibiotic pill/syrup
ML13J(i) = RecodeMedicine( S623J(i), auxQ646D(i), 11 ); { injection }
The variables starting with S are all country/survey specific variables and follow what is in the questionnaire.
For example S623i is based on Q623i (xarope)
Hope this helps.

Dear User,
CSPro code shows:
S646B(i) = alfa2num( Q645, Q646, "B");
S646C(i) = alfa2num( Q645, Q646, "C");
S646D(i) = alfa2num( Q645, Q646, "D");
Q645 During the time you were sick with cough (CHILD'S NAME) did you take any medicine?
Q646b Antibiotics - tablets
Q646c Antibiotics - syrop
Q646d Antibiotics - injection
The questionnaires do not exist in English. However, you can check a translation app on the internet. If that does not help, please feel free to post again.
Thank you!

Dear User, A response from Senior Data Processing Expert, Mr. Guillermo Rojas,
Quote:
We were not involved in the DP for that specific round of surveys in Peru. However, in the previous phase, variable (PEKR51FL) H37G was used to report antibiotics used for fever/cough. I assume that is also the case in the following round.
