Hey guys!

I was going through this thread and wanted to ask a couple of questions:

1. In the DHS-7 Guide to Statistics Version 2, neonatal mortality is still defined as 30 days but are you confirming that it should be 27 completed days?

2. In the India DHS final reports for NFHS-4 (2015-16) and NFHS-5 (2019-21), could you confirm that the neonatal mortality rate presented is for the first 27 completed days?

3. Could you please confirm the Stata files in the DHS CodeShare project will reproduce the neonatal mortality rate presented in the final reports which is for 27 completed days? Here is the link to the Stata DO file: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/blob/mast er/Chap08_CM/CM_CHILD.do

Our analysis wants to match the WHO definition and would like to use DHS data to produce those estimates. We want to be 100% clear on the definitions before releasing anything!

Thank you so much!
