Dear DHS Representative,


Please reply soon to this query, since I have developed my survival model using the time variable from b6 (100-128).

I am thinking that the period of neonatal death I have used up till now is according to WHO criteria of neonatal death (0-28) and not for DHS (0-30).

Quest: Instead of changing my time variable and repeating the whole analysis for the survival model, One Remedy is to just change my definition for defining neonatal mortality instead of DHS definition.

In this case, my table will match your Rwanda DHS further analysis report (2000-2010) table A1 on page 61. (from Day <1 uptill Day 28).

Please reply soon, desperately waiting!

Best Regards

Dr. Hussain
