Thank you for your informative reply.

The question now is how I can calculate a maternal indicator if a woman has had more than 1 birth during the last five years.

For example, according to the Guide to DHS Statistics, the ANCC (at least four visits) is 100 times the quotient of the numbers of women who received antenatal care for their last birth, according to grouped number of visits (four visits), divided by the number of women with a birth in the last five years, expressed as a percentage. How can I update this formula to account for women having more than 1 birth during the last five years?

Thank you again.

Amira
