Dear User, a response from technical expert, Mr. Trevor Croft:
Quote:

We don't have data on where the siblings live(d), and they could be in very different wealth quintiles.

Disaggregating by wealth quintile is highly problematic as there would be very few deaths in each quintile and the confidence intervals would be enormous. The surveys are not designed to produce estimate of maternal mortality by quintile and I would not trust any estimates produced by quintile.

A response from senior data processing expert, Mr. Albert Themme:
Quote:

no info to link "sisters" to the "household roster", since we do not collect line numbers to link them. We also do not have a way to find out which sisters live in the household and which do not.

Thank you!
