Hello,

The 2015-16 India final report does in fact report a denominator of 184,641 in tables 8.21 and 8.22. I do not see 184,627. This is the link to the final report: https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR339/FR339.pdf

I do get a match using your code but you need to use s460_1 and m51_1 since you should use the IR file (the table is among women not children).

I also want to take this opportunity to inform you about the DHS GitHub site: https://github.com/DHSProgram
Please read the readme file for this site.

This contains code for all the DHS indicators listed in the Guide to DHS Statistics (usually all the indicators in the Final reports). For the maternal health chapter for instance you can go to Chapter 9 to copy code for the indicators ( https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/tree/mast er/Chap09_RH). Please note that the code for PNC uses the standard of the last 2 years but for the 2015-16 NFHS they use the last five year so you would need to adjust the code as I have using the age>=60 instead of age>=24 as we have in the standard code. Please also read the notes in the do files before trying to use the code. The PNC code especially can be country specific and may need adjustment from the standard code.

Thank you.
Best,
Shireen Assaf
