I don't see any reason why you cannot reproduce the estimates in column 2 of the table, but you are able to reproduce the estimates in column 1 and column 3. The questions in the questionnaires for women and men in both NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 are identical. The table title, column headings, and footnote in Table 11.20 are also identical. There is always a possibility that the files you are using to produce Table 11.20 are slightly different from the files that were used at the time that Table 20.11 was produced for the national report tables, be even in that case any difference would be quite small.

You should also check the NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 questionnaires for women since there are some skip instructions.

With respect to additional variables to capture gendered differences in health care, it's best if you check the NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 questionnaires for other variables that might be useful for your analysis.
