Also just in addition to the same dataset I have a query about the index variables idx97, idx, and midx. When i look at the last live birth for each mother and tabulate that by restricting to idx==1 (or idx97 gives the same number) i get 10,476 births, but when i look at the data when midx==1 there is data for only 6,892 and the remainder appears to be missing/not applicable. Does this mean that not all of the mothers last births are included in the maternity care section? I'm just trying to understand why the data is not collected for all of the 10,476 births or if I have done something incorrectly.
