Dear Sir/Madam
There is table 9.16 in our Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey report of 2017-18 that shows results of pregnancy outcomes (abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth).
I want to use this variables for further analysis. However, I don't see their codes on DHS Github and I'm unable to find these variables in the IR or BR files.
Would appreciate help in this regard.
Thank you

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Table 9.16 is based on the calendar but it also borrows some information from the pregnancy history. The following program will match the report, except it is slightly off for pregnancy order. I believe this is because the pregnancy histories do not include events before 1997 (30 years before the survey). Also I just use v149 for the education variable. The program has many comments. Let us know if you have difficulty with it.
* Stata program to construct table 9.16 in the Pakistan 2017 final report
* This table gives the outcome of all pregnancies in the past 5 years.
* Refer to the outcomes generically as BMAS, for Births, Miscarriages, Abortions, Stillbirths
* But the sequence in the table is Births, Stillbirths, Miscarriages, Abortions
* There should be two ways to do this, from the calendar or from the pregnancy history
* However, the approach here is based primarily on the calendar and only uses
* the pregnancy history (and only s215ci and pord97) to get pregnancy order
************************************************************ ***************
program define make_BMAS_from_calendar
* Routine to construct a file with a separate record for each BMAS
* In this survey the BMAS are in vcal_6; C is the symbol for Miscarriage
* mbi: months as months before interview. mbi=col-v018
* cmc: months in century month codes. cmc=v017+80-col
********************************

* Keep the variables needed for table 9.16 and vcal_6

* Read vcal from left to right, i.e. going back in time from the month of interview.
* Separate out the individual columns (for months) of vcal_6
forvalues lc=1/80 {
gen vcol_`lc'=substr(vcal_6,`lc',1)
}
drop vcal_6
* Make a record for each column of vcal_6
reshape long vcol_,i(v001 v002 v003) j(col)
rename vcol_ vcol
* Reduce to the 60 months before the interview
* Because we will merge with the pregnancy later, delay this step

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The following program has some similarities to the one I posted to construct Table 9.16 but it gives the number of months with "P" before the month in which a birth, stillbirth, abortion, or miscarriage occurs. If the data are perfect, the month of conception will be the first month with a "P". However, the woman may not know when she actually became pregnant. It can happen that an abortion or miscarriage in the data is not preceded by ANY months with P. DHS would usually say that the duration of the pregnancy is one plus the number of preceding months of "P".
* Stata program to calculate the months pregnant (P) preceding BMAS codes.
* Illustrate with PKIR71FL.dta and all pregnancies in vcal_6.
* Refer to the outcomes generically as BMAS, for Births, Miscarriages, Abortions, Stillbirths
* Sequence them as in the table in the final report (Births, Stillbirths, Miscarriages, Abortions)
* An interval is censored if it is so close to the beginning of the calendar (the early months) that
* it is impossible to be sure of the number of preceding months of P's
************************************************************ ***************
program calc_interval_length
* Construct a file with a separate record for each BMAS
* We look for strings that end in B, C, A, or S and are preceded (chronologically) by P's
* Allow for possible codes C, A that are not preceded by P
* mbi: months as months before interview. mbi=col-v018
* cmc: months in century month codes. cmc=v017+80-col
keep v001 v002 v003 v005 v017 v018 vcal_6
* Calculate the number of P's that immediately precede the BMAS, allowing for 0 to 11
* Index the event by col, not cmc or mbi, and allow col to go from 1 to 79
* To reduce to events and intervals that are entirely included in the 60 months before the interview,
* in the loop below replace "80" with "60+v018"
quietly forvalues lcol=1/80 {
gen type_`lcol'=.
