Dear SPA experts,
In the Senegal 2019 SPA sick child observation dataset SNSC8AFLSP, all children are coded as having a diagnosis of dehydration according to variable oc201.
. ta oc201
dehydration dx | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------------------+-----------------------------------
1. severe dehydration | 14 1.60 1.60
2. moderate dehydration | 4 0.46 2.05
3. mild dehydration | 859 97.95 100.00
------------------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 877 100.00
I am guessing this is incorrect, and that oc201=3 should mean no dehydration diagnosis, which would align with the questionnaire in the final report https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/SPA33/SPA33.T.pdf.
Can you please confirm if my interpretation is correct, and we should consider oc201=3 to mean no dehydration diagnosis?
Thanks!
Sarah
