Dear DHS Representative,
Q1: Can I recode the variable V367 response a (Yes=Wanted than) (No=Wanted later or wanted no more) and rename this variable as Desired for last born child considering it as a proxy indicator for the "desire for the last pregnancy". I want to use the variable "Desire for last born child" as a predictor of neonatal mortality in Pakistan. (PDHS 2017-18)
Q2: Variable v401 (last birth a cesarean section) will give me only those last birth that had occurred in the preceding 5 years before the conduct of the survey? if not then how I can find the results of the mode of delivery for the last birth occurred in the preceding 5 years before the conduct of the survey? I want to use the variable "Mode of delivery" as a predictor of neonatal mortality in Pakistan. (PDHS 2017-18)
Kindly also respond to my questions asked in Topic "Full Birth History and Antenatal Care Information" as I am struggling how to make the (outcome variable=neonatal death early, late and those who survived) restricted to only those singleton births that were the last born in the preceding five years before the conduct of the survey in Pakistan (PDHS 2017-18)
Waiting for your reply.
Best Regards
Dr. Hussain
