Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Embarrassing! When forum questions come to me they often do not have the history attached. Either that happened, or I just didn't see it. I will paste the Stata lines below, along with two tables, and will highlight the relevant numbers in those tables.
I included possible births and deaths in the month of interview. Sometimes we don't do that. Also children born in the past year did not have full exposure to the risk of an infant death. This was intended just to give a sense of how many cases there are, and other approaches could give slightly different numbers.
use "...IAIR7EFL.DTA", clear
lookfor diabetes
*remove leading zeroes from indices
rename *_0* *_*
*up to 6 births in the past five years
gen births=0
gen deaths=0
forvalues lb=1/6 {
replace births=1 if v008-b3_`lb'<=60
replace deaths=1 if v008-b3_`lb'<=60 & b7_`lb'<=11
}
label variable births "Had 1+ births in the past 5 years"
label variable deaths "Had 1+ infant deaths to those births"
tab s728a births [iweight=v005/1000000],m
tab s728a deaths [iweight=v005/1000000],m
. tab s728a births [iweight=v005/1000000],m
