Hi, we are doing a study on iCCM and were looking back retrospectively at some data in Malawi (2004) and Rwanda (2005) for fever care seeking and ARI care seeking. In the 2004 Malawi report, we are only finding 'Among children with symptoms of ARI and/or fever, percentage who sought treatment." We are looking for fever and ARI care-seeking individually. When we look at the raw data and calculate the those variables and then try to combine them to cross-reference with what is in the report, we are not getting the same figure of 19.6%. Could you provide us any insights on this and how we can get those indicators individually. We are then trying to get care-seeking from CHW, which we are able to calculate individually in the raw data.
Similarly for Rwanda 2005, the report does not report fever care-seeking and ARI care-seeking individually but as combined into one indicator. When we run it in the raw data, we are able to get individual indicator values but when we try to combine we are not getting the same value as the report which is 26.9. We have the correct code so are confused at why this is happening.
