Dear all,
I am working with Kenya 2022 DHS data and attempting to replicate county-level statistics for the variable "Percentage of women
with a postnatal check during the first 2 days after birth" from the published full report table Table 9.11C Timing of first postnatal check for the mother by county. I am using the DHS-Indicators-Stata repository of code from the DHS program codeshare at https://github.com/DHSProgram and just slightly updating the code to be specific to Kenya 2022. When I attempt to replicate the county estimates for this table, most of the counties match exactly, but my code produces slight overestimates for 19 of the counties. I think this: 1) must be something specific to code changes needed for the Kenya data; 2) my code produces correct Ns; and 3) my code only produces overestimates and not underestimates, so it seems there is something about my construction of the variable rh_pnc_wm_2days that gives me a slightly higher numerator. Possibly something with the coding for type of health worker...I'm attaching here the relevant survey question from the Kenya women's long questionnaire.
The DHS code share project uses three do files: !RH_main.do to run the other two do files, RH_PNC.do to generate the indicators, and RH_tables.do to generate the tables. I attempted to copy below only the relevant code to this particular variable. I think the problem must be in the variable construction done in RH_PNC.do. I think the weights were applied correctly using iweight. I didn't use svyset, but don't think that's necessary for descriptive statistics. I believe the variable was correctly restricted to livebirths only (m80==1) as done in the published report table. Would be grateful for any thoughts you might have on why I am getting these overestimates!
Thank you in advance for any help :)

To match the livebirths only, tabulate the indicators with the condition m80==1

To match live births and stillbirths, tabulate the indicators with the condition (_n == 1 | caseid != caseid[_n-1]) to keep either the last livebirth or last stillbirth.
For ANC components indicators there is an additional condition to select for women who have had at least one ANC visit or all women.
