Definition
CHDEADFEM indicates the number of female children ever born to a woman who are no longer living. Stillbirths are not counted.
It is possible to calculate total child deaths for samples that have both the "Female children ever born" and "Female children surviving" variables. That is not done in CHDEADFEM, which includes only the samples that directly reported the information in the appropriate form.
