Dear rhythm,

For Malawi xray variable, in many countries, one of the criteria for the xray machine variable is that the facility uses xray for TB diagnosis as asked in q1903. If you are trying to calculate this variable for any country, please add that into your coding. If you do this for Malawi, you will get the same % as in the final report.

For Nepal, you are using incorrect variables for your definition of full blood count. Please doublecheck the footnotes in the table, which provide the definition used, as well as the questionnaire with the variables you used to define blood_count. If you recreate the definition with the correct variables, you will get a value within 1% of the final report.

Best,
Sara
