I'm conducting an analysis of antenatal care (ANC) in Telangana State using the NFHS-4 (India 2015-16 DHS) individual recode dataset. I've noticed a discrepancy between the state report and dataset in the numbers of women with a live birth in the last five years and numbers of women with a live birth in the last five years who received ANC.
According to the Telangana Final Report (https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR338/FR338.TG.pdf), in Tables 37 and 38 (pages 71-72), here are the numbers for the respective groups:
Total number of women who had a live birth in the five years preceding the survey
Table 37 in the report: 1793
My result: 1785
Total number of women who had a live birth in the five years preceding the survey who received antenatal care
Table 38 in the report: 1744
My result: 1729
I've checked my Stata code with a couple experienced DHS analysts and cannot figure out where the discrepancy lies. Here's a snippet of the Stata code to produce the above numbers:
*** keep Telangana State only
use IAIR74FL.dta
keep if v024==36
*** Birth in last 5 years
recode v208 (0=0 "no") (1/10 = 1 "yes"), g(birthlastfive)
tab birthlastfive, m
*** Any ANC visits
recode m14_1 (0 99 = 0 "None") (1/60 98 = 1 "1+ ANC visit"), g(ancany)
tab ancany, m
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any guidance on how to match the denominators in the state report would be much appreciated!
Thank you very much,
Emma
