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

All the under-five mortality rates are calculated from the BR file, NOT the IR file. The calculation uses b7, which is a recode of b6. The calculation is complicated. Some details are given in the Guide to DHS Statistics ( https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Stati stics_29Oct2012_DHSG1.pdf). To match DHS you need a special program which is not generally distributed.
