Hello, I understand that the variable b20_0x can take values up to 10. I was wondering what these values mean. Does they refer to 30/31-day months or 28-day months? I would like to construct a preterm birth variable and have doubts on how to construct it; preterm is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed, so I think here it is important to know how this variable was constructed. Thank you very much for clarifying this.
