Hello!

I was wondering whether i could use the varibale V233 in the birth recode to track preterm births? Say i consider preterm birth if V233=7 0r 8

Thanks

The $V233$ variable is often too crude and prone to overlap and misreporting, failing to accurately track the 37-week preterm birth threshold.
