Description

DELCESRWHYCONV_ALL indicates whether the reason a caesarean section was performed for the female respondent's last birth was because it was convenient.

DELCESRWHYCONV_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELCESRWHYCONV_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELCESRWHYCONV_02, DELCESRWHYCONV_03, DELCESRWHYCONV_04, DELCESRWHYCONV_05, and DELCESRWHYCONV_06).
