Thank you for the reply. I would like to clarify whether merging my IR file with the PR file will give me the respective women's household characteristics (which are not in the IR file). I understood from your reply that it is better if I merge the IR and PR files to get the missing household variables for women. I can follow this by merging the new file with the BR file.

Is there anything I need to focus on concerning the merging codes of the IR and PR files? Is it possible to share the merge code?

Thank You

Hi,
I am want to calculate the odds ratio for NNMR, IMR, CMR across social categories for which I am using the variable b6 and b7.
However, there is some error I believe in data as the age at deaths (captured by b6 and b7) shows values greater than 60 months (in the variable b7).
Approx 8000 observations in b7 variable are greater than "60".
Can someone help me with that?
additionally, I hope my approach is correct in which I am only including those observations with b7==0 if the child didn't survive first three years as "having incurred neonatal mortality" in comparison to a live child of age 1 month?

Thanks
