Dear DHS Forum team,

I want to calculate the indicator Probability of dying between exact age 15 and 50 (35q15) for both women and men in a set of countries. For the purpose of comparison between sexes, I need to calculate 95% CI for women and men and see if there's a difference over time in the probability of dying between the exact age of 15-50 years. However, the DHS Git-Hub page doesn't present ways to generate these intervals; moreover, STAT Compiler doesn't present confidence intervals for this indicator.
I wonder if it is possible to calculate 95% CI for this indicator, how to do it, and if it is also possible to disaggregate it by equity cuts (wealth, education, area of residence, etc.). Any help is welcome. Thank you so much!

Paulo
