Number of strata = 10 Number of obs = 4,516
Number of PSUs = 404 Population size = 4,461.1268
Design df = 394
F(11, 384) = 4.45
Prob > F = 0.0000

Initially variable named "region" having four categories (sindh, punjab, balochistan, KPK) was in my multivariable model, I removed it later on because I was told that the "number of stratas 10" signifies region variable, so I was told to remove region from my multivariable model.
is this the correct approach? what does stratas and PSU signifies here. what does 10 stratas and 404 PSU signifies? should I removed it from my multivariable model? Once I removed this, my primary exposure variables becomes insignificant which was earlier significant otherwise. Leads on this?
I am using PDHS IR File, 2017-2018.
2) "Total children ever born" this variable has only live births and no still births, right? Reference "PDHS IR FILE 2017-2018"
