Hi;

I was reviewing some variables and looking for clarification regarding them. I am looking to do analysis based on the women who had given birth live/non-live or any adverse birth outcomes based on past 5 years. As such I plan to use variables: m_19 (birth weight; unsure if it should be m19_1, 2 , 3, 4 , 5 or 6 and whether its for the recorded births from past 5 years); v234 (unsure if it should v228 or v239 or s234 if considering past 5 years)

The variable V457 indicates anemia level. Is this something measured during pregnancy? if not what variable is for measured during pregnancy in past 5 years? Also is there a variable to recode if the birth was a pre-term birth in past 5 years.

Looking forward to response!

Thanks
Sak_bn
