Description

DELCESRWHYMALPRES_ALL indicates whether the reason a caesarean section was performed for the female respondent's last birth was because there was a malpresentation of the fetus.

DELCESRWHYMALPRES_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELCESRWHYMALPRES_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELCESRWHYMALPRES_02, DELCESRWHYMALPRES_03, DELCESRWHYMALPRES_04, DELCESRWHYMALPRES_05, and DELCESRWHYMALPRES_06).
