I'm trying to estimate U5 mortality rates in India (98,06) and Kenya (98,08).

I'm using this code in Stata and am getting close, within 1-2 people, of the published DHS rate, but not exact matches. Can anyone help me see what I am missing?

Very appreciative of any suggestions.

I've created this code for the BR DHS file following http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPAH/Resources/Publicat ions/459843-1195594469249/HealthEquityCh3.pdf and http://legacy.measuredhs.com/help/datasets/

gen hypage=(v008-b3)
gen survivelength=.
replace survivelength=hypage
replace survivelength=b7 if b5==0
gen dead=(b5==0)

ltable survivelength dead [fw=v005] if hypage <60 , int(0,1,3,6,12,24,36,48,60) failure
