**For ENMR, use BR file*****
* create a child Alive or Died variable using the b5 variable
gen alive=b5
lab def alive 0 "Died" 1 "Alive"
lab val alive alive
lab var alive "Alive or Died by the time of survey"
** Age at death using variables b6 and b5
gen age_death=.
replace age_death = 0 if b6<=106 & b5==0
replace age_death = 1 if b6>=107 & b6<=130 & b5==0
replace age_death = 2 if (b6> 130 & b6<=999) | b5==1
lab def age_death 0 "Early Neonatal Death" 1 "Late Neonatal Death" 2 "Survived Neonatal Period"
lab val age_death age_death
lab var age_death "Neonatal Mortality Status"
tab age_death
gen wt=v005/1000000
svyset v021 [pw=wt], strata(v023)
svy: tab age_death if v008-b3<60, per count form(%7.3g)
svy: tab age_death if v008-b3<60, per col form(%7.3g)

**For stillbirth, use IR file***
*Calculate still births in the last 5 years
gen stillbirths = 0
gen births = 0
gen nlbirths = 0
*Set length of calendar to use
gen callen = v018 + 59
* If calendar is aligned right (as in original dataset), use the following:
gen beg = v018
gen end = callen
* If calendar is aligned left (as it appears to be), use the following:
*gen beg = 1
*gen end = 60
* Loop through calendar summing births, non-live pregnancies and stillbirths
forvalues i = 1/80 {
replace births = births+1 if `i' >= beg & `i' <= end & substr(vcal_1,`i',1) == "B"
replace nlbirths = nlbirths+1 if `i' >= beg & `i' <= end & substr(vcal_1,`i',1) == "T"
replace stillbirths = stillbirths+1 if `i' >= beg & `i' <= end & substr(vcal_1,`i',7) == "TPPPPPP"
}
* total pregnancies in last 5 years
gen totpreg5 = births+nlbirths
* total pregnancies of 7+ months in last 5 years (all live births, plus the stillbirths)
gen totpreg7m = births+stillbirths
* Create weight variable.
gen wgt = v005/1000000
* Set up svyset parameters for complex samples.
svyset v021 [pweight=wgt], strata(v023)
* Produce number of stillbirths
svy: tab stillbirths, cell count

I have prepared a syntax for calculating the perinatal mortality rate in Stata with guidance from this forum. However, my results do not match the numbers in the official report, and I am unsure where I might have gone wrong. Could you please review my syntax to help identify any errors? Additionally, I am finding the syntax on GitHub for calculating perinatal deaths quite complex. If possible, could you provide a simplified version of perinatal death equation in Stata?

Wow, it's great! I also want to know regarding essential newborn care, if data on "baby dried <5 min of birth" and "baby wrapped <5 min of birth" are available in DHS-8. If so, could you let me know the variable numbers.
