Dear DHS team and forum users,
I used the DHS STATcompiler to get aggregate statistics on neonatal mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio and maternal mortality rate. I have noticed that maternal mortality statistics are typically unavailable for most surveys, and in countries where they are available, they are typically only available in the most recent survey. Neonatal mortality is available for (nearly) all surveys as far as I can tell.
Could anyone kindly let me know what the reason for this is? Is there a problem with the earlier surveys that prevents calculation of maternal mortality statistics?
Best regards,
Christian
