Hi all,

I do understand that the day of death of a child variable in the KR/BR files, b6 is such that the first number on the left if it's 1 represent day of death, 2 = month of death and 3 = year. Thu, I am able to determine the number of deaths up to 30 days by day of death. However, I want to determine the days of death (how old was the child when it died in actual days rather than computed months) for the period beyond the first 30 days. Is there a way I can determine this from the DHS variables (v008, b19, b6,b1, b2, b17,etc)? I want the actual day of death, or even better the date of death.

Thank you,
Paul
