Hello,
I am estimating pregnancy outcomes among reproductive women in India using IR file from the latest IDHS 2019-21. The Earlier IDHS 2015-16 provides vcal_7 variable (IR file) to estimate the pregnancy outcome variable. Recently, IDHS 2019-21 round dropped vcal_7 variable and provides vcal_1 and vcal_2 variables to estimate pregnancy outcome variable (B= Live Birth & M= Miscarriages in vcal_1 and A= Abortion & S= Stillbirth in vcal_2). Therefore, I estimated the pregnancy outcome variable using IDHS 2019-21 data (IR file), which didn't match with the Table 6.15 pregnancy outcome from the report (https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR375/FR375.pdf). My estimation reported 178,876 sample, while Table 6.15 reported 255,549 sample. Unfortunately, my estimation indicated that 76,673 sample were missing. Please find the attached file of my estimation of pregnancy outcomes (1= Live Birth, 2= Abortion, 3= Miscarriages, 4= Stillbirth) as well as Table 6.15.
Your timely response will be very helpful.
Kind regards,
Monirujjaman Biswas
