Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Your code looks fine to me. I did some checking and basically I match you--but I do not match the report.

The KR file has 179,262 (weighted) children age 6-59 months with a valid hemoglobin measurement. Table 10.12 says there are 152,752 such children. I don't know how to get to 152,752.

Perhaps another user, or someone from IIPS, can help.
