Dear Moderators,

I am using NFHS4 India, looking at acute respiratory symptoms. If this survey uses questionnaire recode VI for ARI, should I use the old definition, which includes cough, i. e:

ari=1 if h31==2 & (h31b = 1 & h31c==3/1)

Or should I use the new one, without cough?

ari=1 if H31B == 1 & (H31C ==1 | H31C == 3)

I wonder it that matter considering how the survey was applied.
Thanks
