I have calculated the perinatal MR using the IR file as guided in the above syntax.
I found different observations in the original IR file and the resulted calculation.

In the original IR file, was 12,607 and in the resulted file to calculate PNMR was 7,200.

•What makes a significant difference in the number of observations between the two files? Is that because of the criteria included in PNMR only pregnancy 7 months above? Or any other rationale?
•I also find observations in the BR file was 28,682. What causes a significant difference in the number of observations between the IR file and BR file

Best wishes
Sam
