Description

Definition

For women who had any pregnancies terminated through abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth prior to the survey's birth calendar, PRECALTERMCMC_NP (V242_NP) reports the century month date of the last pregnancy termination before the start of the birth calendar, according to the Nepali calendar.

Nepal uses a different calendar than most DHS countries, and Nepali months and years do not directly correspond to Gregorian calendar's months and years. For this reason, a country-specific variable, PRECALTERMCMC_NP, is released for Nepali samples. Note that Nepali century month codes are not directly comparable to those from other countries but are consistent across Nepali samples.

For information on how to interpret and calculate century month dates in general, see DOBCMC.
