Following is response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
There are 4596 UNWEIGHTED children in the KR file, and 4286 WEIGHTED children. The numbers in the tables are weighted. The KR file includes children born in the past 5 years who died, as well as those who survived. Those who survived have b5=1, those who died have b5=0 and for them h11 is NA (not applicable, coded with a dot). The weighted number of children who survived (rounded) is 4099. I opened the KR file with Stata and entered this line: "tab h11 b5 [iweight=v005/1000000], m". That gives the following table:
had diarrhea | child is alive
recently | no yes | Total
--------------------+----------------------+----------
no | 0 3,659.032 | 3,659.032
yes, last two weeks | 0 427.372586 |427.372586
don't know | 0 11.425541 | 11.425541
. |187.528802 .83877 |188.367572
--------------------+----------------------+----------
Total |187.528802 4,098.669 | 4,286.198
One of the surviving children has a dot for h11, which I would not expect, but otherwise the coding is ok and all the children are accounted for.
