Hi Mlue

Thanks so much! Just tried this and they give the statcompiler figures as you say.

I'm still a bit confused though as the codes miss out h37n and h37o which are ciprofloxacin taken for fever/cough and other antibiotic taken for fever/cough.

When you tabulate these with ARI, 5 and 20 children are given ciprofloxacin and other antibiotic respectively.

An explanation could be that the recommended antibiotics for ARI according to IMCI are amoxicillin, co-trimoxazole and procaine penicillin (h37f, h37g and h37j) so I suppose you could argue these figures represent children given antibiotics to treat ARI but not children with ARI who received antibiotics (the latter being the definition statcompiler uses).

Perhaps someone from DHS can clarify this.

Many thanks for your help though!

Best wishes
Charlotte
