On the birth recode there's a variable for date of survey. Use this to create a variable that's the difference between the child's birthdate and the date of survey (in my experience these have always been in months - but I'm not sure that this is universally coded this way). Then you can use that variable to restrict calculation to less than or equal to 12 or 24 months.

Dear User,
This post from one of our experts, Mr. Trevor Croft should help: http:// userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=4424&got o=8433&#msg_8433
In addition, The Guide to DHS Statistics http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questi onnaires-and-manuals.cfm Starting on Page 92 has an explanation of the calculations needed for neonatal mortality.
Thank you for your post.
