Dear DHS Representative,

I am using PDHS(Pakistan-DHS 2017-18) for assessing neonatal mortality rate and determinants using survival analysis methodology.

I am estimating mortality rate and its determinants in neonates with birth weight>= 2500gms.

In this case can I drop those observation (m19=birthweight) whose weight is less than 2500gms ???

If I drop these LBW observations what will be effect on survey weight V005.

If I cannot drops LBW then how I should declare my data set as survival analysis data so that i got the results only for neonates with birthweight above 2500gms when I am using the reference category of BW 4.5 and above.

Kindly Reply at your earliest.

Best Regards

Dr. Hussain
