Dear Tom,

Can you help me with this?

I have calculated the perinatal mortality rate use Timor Leste DHS datasets with the below syntax:
https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/blob/mast er/Chap08_CM/CM_PMR.do

However I found the result is slightly different with what is written in the final report (Chapter 8.3, perinatal mortality).
https://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-fr329-dhs-fi nal-reports.cfm

In my calculation I found the differences are as follow:

For 5 Years STATA Calculation TL Final Report 2016
Total pregnancies (7+ Months) 7,200 7,319
Stillbirth 20 22
Early Neonatal 126 128
Perinatal Mortality (for 5 years) 146 150
Perinatal mortality rate
(Per 1000) 20 20

As I go further, the differences also obvious when I tabulate other variables with the perinatal mortality: mother age, previous birth interval and municipalities/regions.

My questions:
Is there any possibility of miscalculation in the STATA syntax?
Any advice for this?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Sam
