Dear Shireen,

Thanks for your reply. I am excluding those birth which occurred in the month of conducting the survey (v210!=1) because according to my understanding about the DHS statistics (book/guide); These newborns lie in cohort C that is considered to be partially exposed. They will not be eligible for the numerator.

Restricting my analysis to the most recent birth a mother had in the preceding five years before the conduct of the survey (bidx==1) is due to the reason that P-DHS only takes ANC information for the last or most recent birth a woman had.

Restriction for singleton livebirth (b0==0) is to avoid the information bias in my estimates.

Please comment do these reasons are acceptable to the scientific community.

Best Regards

Dr. Hussain
