Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

We apologize for the delay in answering your post. DHS bases the CPR on v313, rather than v361. The CPR may be restricted to modern methods, i.e. cases with v313=3. This is called the mCPR. The denominator should be women who have v502=1 or v528<=30 (women who are currently married or living as married OR had sex in the past 30 days). The cases must be weighted with v005/1000000. Did you weight the cases?
