Description

Definition
DELPROOTH_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported experiencing some other complication. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.

DELPROOTH_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROOTH_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROOTH_02, DELPROOTH_03, DELPROOTH_04, DELPROOTH_05, and DELPROOTH_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROOTH_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
