Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The variable b9 in the birth history tells you whether the mother and child are in the same household. That variable is in both the KR and BR files. I will repeat that with just the KR file you cannot calculate the under-five death rates. You can tell whether a child born in the past five years has died, and if so, at what age, but that's not sufficient for calculating the under-five death rates for the five years before the survey.
