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

I don't understand your question. The IR file is a file of interviewed women. The BR file has one record for each child ever born to these women. The perinatal mortality rate is calculated for children born recently, e.g. in the past 3 years. The numbers you list are supposed to be different from one another.
