I am using the women dataset from Indonesia DHS. I have transformed the data set from wide to long format to see the data in sibling's record. However, I got stuck with the data. I found a missing data that I don't know why it's missing. From the new dataset, there are 195,839 sibling records. There are 94,715 records of female siblings after excluding the male siblings. Of these, there are 11,975 women who died and 82,740 are alive.
When I tried to count the women who died from maternal causes, there are 9,142 missing which gets me confused. Why are they missing? Is it because these 9.142 records are the unknown deaths? And, if I exclude the missing data and deaths not related to pregnancy, to describe maternal mortality number, it means that there are 372 deaths related pregnancy, isn't it?
