While exploring the BDHS2017-18 dataset I found a few variables within missing data. Even after adjusting for "Base" and Skip questions I found -
1. s434g_1 (transport to facility) variable has 208 missing observations
2. s434f_1 (time to facility) variable has 222 missing observations

Also when I went through MAP file of the women dataset s434f_1 (time to facility) variable seems like a categorical variable.
However, I can not make sense of the given categories. Following categories are provided for the variable -
S434F Time to facility
100 Hours: 0
101 Hours: 1
102:190
199
201 Days: 1
202:290
998 Don't know
(m) 999 Missing
(na) Not applicable

If anyone can help me understand these variables and missing observations, that would be a great help.
Regards,
saad
