Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


The newest surveys, including the Ethiopia 2016 DHS, include day of birth, as well as month and year. This permits a more exact definition of "the past two years". The cdc (century day code) of the interview is v008a. The cdc of the birth of the most recent child is b18_01. The condition for being in table 9.12, that is, for a birth in the past two years, is v008a-b18_01<=730. The weighted number of births satisfying this condition is 4308.
