Description
DELDISPKIT_ALL indicates whether a disposable delivery kit was used for the child's delivery (for the last birth).
DELDISPKIT_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELDISPKIT_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELDISPKIT_02, DELDISPKIT_03, DELDISPKIT_04, DELDISPKIT_05, and DELDISPKIT_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELDISPKIT_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For most surveys, this information was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the Comparability section.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DELDISPKIT_ALL is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DELDISPKIT_ALL is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Nepal [top]
The 2006, 2011, and 2016 Nepal surveys collected this information on the last birth only. The 1996 and 2001 Nepal surveys collected this information on additional births.
The 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016 Nepal surveys ask whether a "special safe delivery kit" was used.
