I am doing an analysis on DHS for the following question.
"maternal education associated with child mortality" (stillbirths, infant). I have restricted the analysis to the births in the last 5 years preceding the survey.

1)Initially, I am just trying to calculate the numbers for infant and still births (to calculate power).
For example for the number of children who died in the neonatal period, I am using the command
tab b7 exposure v if b19<60 where I have recoded b7 into 0/1=neonatal 3/12 post-neonatal number of deaths. (What can I do for the older DHS where b7 variable is not present).

2)I wish to know the code I need to calculate the number of stillbirths.

3)Later if plan to calculate odds for this association in logistic regression. Do I need to create an event file (tutorial 5 of contraceptive calendar) ?

I am not an expert Stata user. I have already tried the tread message #15076] in this forum but it did not work.

I hope you can guide me in the right direction
Thanks in advance.
