Description
ANSYMNURM_ALL indicates whether the woman sought advice or treatment from a nurse or midwife for pregnancy complications.
ANSYMNURM_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMNURM_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMNURM_02, ANSYMNURM_03, ANSYMNURM_04, ANSYMNURM_05, and ANSYMNURM_06).
