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

Table 9.16 in the report gives the percentage of pregnancies ending in a stillbirth. Perinatal mortality is described in Table 8.4, and it can be separated into stillbirths and early neonatal. Stillbirths are identified in the calendar, vcal_6, with the character "S". There have been earlier posting specifically on the construction of Table 9.16 in the Pakistan 2017-18 report and on the general construction of the perinatal mortality rate. Let us know if you still have questions.
