Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANCAREBLD_ALL (M42E_x) indicates whether a blood sample was taken at least once during antenatal care.
ANCAREBLD_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREBLD_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREBLD_02, ANCAREBLD_03, ANCAREBLD_04, ANCAREBLD_05, and ANCAREBLD_06). For most surveys, this information on taking a blood sample during the pregnancy was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
