Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I think you reversed the numbers, but I do match the reports. For Cameroon, the report gives 110 weighted maternal deaths and my program gives 109.57. For Burundi, the report gives 130 weighted maternal deaths and my program gives 129.51. The weighted frequencies in the reports are always rounded to the nearest integer.
