Demographic and Health Surveys
DELPROCESR_ALL variables are 1-digit variables.
0 = No
1 = Yes
8 = Missing
9 = NIU (not in universe)
DELPROCESR_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about delivery complications, the woman reported having a caesarean (cesarean) section.
DELPROCESR_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPROCESR_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPROCESR_02, DELPROCESR_03, DELPROCESR_04, DELPROCESR_05, and DELPROCESR_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPROCESR_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
