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

When you merge the children in the PR and KR files, you will find some who are in the KR but NOT the PR file, and some who are in the PR but NOT the KR file. I think that's why you get a discrepancy. You just need to decide which children to include.

The children in the PR file are a representative sample of all children in the household population. The KR file is limited to children who are living with the mother (and the mother is alive). It includes children who have died (but those children have little data, particularly biometric data).
