Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The DHS staff cannot help with the design of research projects. Perhaps other users can help. However, whenever you post a question on the forum, please specify what survey you are working with. For your question, a Malaria Indicator Survey is probably most appropriate. It would be helpful to say what age range you are using for child deaths--for example, the first week, the first month, or the first year. Age at death, for children who died, is given by b6 or b7. Your term "post-discharge" suggests that you are only looking at births which take place in some kind of health facility. Are you intentionally omitting births that are not in a facility?
