Description

PPFEV6WK_ALL indicates whether the woman experienced a high fever in the first 6 weeks after delivery.

PPFEV6WK_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPFEV6WK_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPFEV6WK_02, PPFEV6WK_03, PPFEV6WK_04, PPFEV6WK_05, and PPFEV6WK_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPFEV6WK_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
