Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The data are in the women's (IR) file, LBIR7A. An SPSS version of a program to calculate adult and maternal mortality rates and ratios is on our GitHub site (https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-SPSS). The rates have been calculated and are on STATcompiler (with an interval of 7 years, rather than 5). General information about the data is in the Guide to DHS Statistics ( https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.cfm). DHS has published some Methodological Reports on the sibling histories. Note that we do not recommend subnational estimates or multivariate analysis because the covariates in the survey, such as education, parity, wealth quintile, etc., are characteristics of the respondent and do not necessarily describe her sisters.
