I see now that you are interested in the perinatal mortality data, so you would need the mother's age at birth for both the live births and the stillbirths. We did not use Stata for the tabulations in the final report, so we don't have Liberia specific state code to share - the tables are produced in CSPro for the report. However, we do have generic code available in Stata from our code repository on GitHub. Go to Chap08_CM and then see the code in PMR.do that is used to produce table 8.4. This provides all of the details for how to calculate the perinatal mortality. You don't need to worry about using the KR file as Tom has suggested - that would apply if you are just looking at live births, but for perinatal mortality it is better to use the IR file.
