I don't know the reason behind the extra 20 cases you encountered after merging; perhaps someone from The DHS Program staff will have an idea about that.

When you pick up an extra 20 cases out of more than 6,000, I really doubt that the validity of your results would be affected. Why do you feel it is essential to get exactly the same number of cases?
