Dear Mohan,

The following code below will give you a match with the final report.

Also for the future, please check the DHS code share site on GitHub that contains code for all DHS indicators listed in the Guide to DHS Statistics. https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata
Please read the readme files and main files before attempting to run the do files.

Thank you.
Best,

*define period as birth in the last five years
gen period = 60

*Caesarean delivery
gen rh_del_ces = 0
replace rh_del_ces = 1 if m17==1
replace rh_del_ces = . if age>=period
label define rh_del_ceslab 0 "No" 1 "Yes"
label val rh_del_ces rh_del_ceslab
label var rh_del_ces "Live births delivered by Caesarean"

* mother's age at birth (years): <20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49
gen months_age=b3-v011
gen mageb=1 if months_age<20*12
replace mageb=2 if months_age>=20*12 & months_age<35*12
replace mageb=3 if months_age>=35*12
label define mageb 1"<20" 2"20-24" 3"35-49"
label values mageb mageb

gen wt=v005/1000000
