Hello all,

In the BDHS Birth Recode (BR) dataset, I have found many missing values in the variable m17. Each observation represents a child of the interviewed woman, and each should fall under either C-section (Yes) or No. However, I have obtained only about 4,000 responses.

Any insights on why so many values are missing would be appreciated.
