Dear dhsprogram team,

I write to make an inquiry on how induced abortion was calculated for in 2017 Ghana Maternity and Health Survey (GMHS). In the 2017 GMHS dataset that I downloaded, I found that induced abortion is 14.77%, compared to the 10% in the GMHS report, miscarriage is 15.6% compared to 12% in the GMHS report, and stillbirth is 4.49% compared to 2% in the GMHS report. Kindly explain to me why this percentages differs and probably how to generate the same percentage with that of the final report.

Thanks and warm regards.
