As said above the calculation to estimate OOPE for delivery care does not include transport, S448AA but the footnote at table 8.20 in nfhs 4 report clearly mentions "Out-of-pocket cost paid for the delivery includes the cost of transportation, the hospital stay, tests, medicines, and other costs "
I simply tried to match the reports and excluding transportation, the mean OOPE :
Public facility=3130.621
Private facility =16513.15
Any facility=7706.62
N= 149768
And including the transportation variable,values are:
Public facility=3508.1
Private facility =17528.12
Any facility=8297.631
N= 149768
In either way , the values doesn't match the Nfhs 4 Report :
Public facility=3197
Private facility =16522
Any facility=7935
N= 149768
I used similar codes as mentioned in this thread:
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=tree&th=123 20&goto=25945&#msg_25945
However I couldn't match values in any way for both NFHS 4 and NFHS 5. Any suggestions w.r.t. this will be of great help.Thank you in advance.
