Hi, I would like to analyse the effect of the length p[receding birth interval on infant and child mortality using Indonesian DHS 2012. What do you think about the statistical analysis which is appropriate to analyse this relationship?

Then, I am having trouble to get some variable explanations in the recode data IDIR61FL.SAV related to the length of preceding birth interval (B11$01-B11$20), what it means 01-20?in the questionnaire there are 12 coloumns of children.
About child deaths, there are 3 variables :
- Child is alive (B5$01-B5$20)
- Age at death (B6$01-B6$20)
- Age at death (month imputed)(B7$01-B7$20)
What are the differences and Which one should I use in the analysis?
Do you have some references or statistical guidance how to analyse this kind of relationship?

Thank you
