Hello Trevor,
Please one last question on the MMR. I am trying to make sense of the estimates I just generated. The DHS reports MMR as 512 per 100,000 live births(Nigeria). I have just generated the attached results for Nigeria in Excel. If you look at the "Maternal Mortality Ratio" sheet tab (as attached), you will find "0.002551416" under the MMR column. When you look at the "Mortality summary" summary sheet, you will find a column referred to as "unwtd_prdeaths" with an estimate of"511" which seems close to this estimate that was reported per 100,000 live births? "511" seems to me as pregnancy-related deaths. I actually need to report this as well as its 95% confidence intervals as done on page 374 of the DHS report. Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards,
Placid.
