Dear all,

I have a related question. I'm following the code before for reshaping the data into a pregnancy level dataset. I start from the IR (women) dataset, for Armenia 2010 DHS. After correcting for variable names, the code I run is below.

I want to replicate table 8.1 from the DHS 2010 report. But I cannot even get the number of pregnancies right. In report, the total number of pregnancies in the 3 years prior to survey are 1,457. After my code, I get 1,368. Hence I am missing some pregnancies somehow. Can you help?

Thanks!


************************************************************ *********************************


use "AMIR61FL.DTA", replace

gen weights=v005/1000000

* Rename variables to permit reshaping
ren bidx_0* bidx_*
ren bord_0* bord_*
ren s2*_0* s2*_*
ren b0_0* b0_*

* keep the variables ytou need - you may need more than this list
keep caseid weights v013 v008 v102 s209a s215a_* s222c_* s214y_* s214m_* s214c_* bidx_*



reshape long s215a_ s222c_ s214y_ s214m_ s214c_ bidx_, i(caseid) j(order)

ren s2*_ s2*
ren bidx_ bidx

* drop empty pregnancies
drop if bidx == .
cap drop bidx_1 -bidx_24


* Keep those who were aborted (born) within the last 3 years from interview
cap drop timesincepreg
gen timesincepreg = v008 - s214c


tab s215a if timesincepreg<=36


s215a | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
live birth | 913 66.74 66.74
still birth | 3 0.22 66.96
miscarriage | 81 5.92 72.88
abortion | 371 27.12 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 1,368 100.00
