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

The 2018 Guinea survey did not include the sibling histories, which are necessary for the calculation of adult and maternal mortality rates. If you look at the IR file, you will not find any "mm" variables and if you look at the final report you will not find a chapter on this topic.

Let us know if you want to calculate these rates and ratios for another survey that did include the relevant data.
