I have an extra question. I am now trying to reproduce the calculations of maternal mortality in Indonesia for 2007. Using the same code, that give me the same numbers as the report in 2012, I get very different results. This after adjusting some changes in the coding of some variables like mm9_.

Is it possible that the method for calculating maternal mortality changed from 2007 to 2012?
I also noticed the sample is smaller and that the proportion of respondents 15-19 is very small compared to other age ranges. Also, when compared to 2012 is less evenly distributed. Could this having an impact in the results I am finding? Was there an extra adjustment on the weights in 2007?

Thank you for your help!
