Thanks so much for all of that info Trevor. Is it usual practice to code any fetal deaths where the gestational age (s227) is unknown as a miscarriage?
Based on the following code on another forum (msg #10623). Why does DHS not just drop these deaths rather than code as miscarriage?

gen type = .
replace type = 1 if s216==1 | s217==1
replace type = 2 if type==. & s227 >= 7 & s227 < 98
replace type = 3 if type==. & (s227 < 7 | s227 >= 98) & s228 == 1
replace type = 4 if type==. & (s227 < 7 | s227 >= 98)
lab def type 1 "Live birth" 2 "stillbirth" 3 "Abortion" 4 "Miscarriage"
lab val type type
lab var type "Type of pregnancy"
