Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

If you look at the questionnaire you should be able to find the question corresponding to v234, which is something like this:

"Since [date] have you had any other pregnancies that did not result in a live birth?"

[date] should be January of the calendar year five years before the survey, which is usually the same as the month specified by v017.

The KR file lists the LIVE BIRTHS since v017, and v234 refers to other pregnancy terminations.
