Dear SPA experts,

In the Senegal 2019 SPA sick child observation dataset SNSC8AFLSP, all children are coded as having a diagnosis of dehydration according to variable oc201.
. ta oc201 

         dehydration dx |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------------------+-----------------------------------
  1. severe dehydration |         14        1.60        1.60
2. moderate dehydration |          4        0.46        2.05
    3. mild dehydration |        859       97.95      100.00
------------------------+-----------------------------------
                  Total |        877      100.00
I am guessing this is incorrect, and that oc201=3 should mean no dehydration diagnosis, which would align with the questionnaire in the final report https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/SPA33/SPA33.T.pdf.

Can you please confirm if my interpretation is correct, and we should consider oc201=3 to mean no dehydration diagnosis?

Thanks!
Sarah
