Description
TBSYMPOTH indicates whether the woman reported some other symptom (unspecified in the data) as a symptom of tuberculosis. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the symptoms of TB reported in a given sample.
Comparability
Along with slight differences in question wording, the meaning of "other" in TBSYMPOTH must be considered relative to the TB symptoms specified in each sample.
Comparability - Standard DHS
TBSYMPOTH, and other responses on signs or symptoms of tuberculosis, were part of a country-specific question not included on the standard DHS questionnaire.
