Hi Tom,

should have been more specific, I guess. What I wrote before was just the variables that I needed from the IR, MR and KR files. I chose the PR file as base, because I need anthropometric information, as well as hemoglobin and anemia information. From IR, MR and KR files I then need the variables stated above. This is why I indeed do need to merge the datasets.

Because of the anthropometric information, my original question was whether the HW datasets are entirely included in the PR files.


I think I figured it out now, though. By the time of my question, I still hadn't.

But I think it would be a great idea to publish a list of variables that can be found in multiple recodes. This would allow checking from the beginning, whether you neeed to merge or not. To my knowledge, such a list does not exist, so that if you are looking for variable-overlaps between the recodes, you have to manually open the datasets and check for the variable, which is very time-consuming.

Best
