Here is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

Table 8.19 is constructed from the KR file, not the IR file. The cases are births, not women. If there was no birth, there was no provider.

If you want to use the IR file and want women to be units, you will have to restrict to one birth in the past 5 years, probably the most recent one. This will be equivalent to restricting the KR file to births with bidx=1.
