Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You can match the VA file with the children who died in the KR file. That is, qncluster=v001, qnhnumber=v002, qnmother=v003, and qnline=bord, for children in the KR file who have b5=0.

The KR file includes many v* variables from the IR file, describing the mother.

You cannot do a case-by-case merge with the other files. There have been many posts on merges among the PR, IR, and MR files, but the children who died do not appear in those files.
