Denominator:
Number of live births in the last 5 years who were weighed at birth.
Calculation:
The numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.
Expected Frequency of Data Dissemination
Annual

Comments
Reporting of birth weight is based on either a written record or mother’s recall. In DHS-V and DHS-VI a percent distribution of birth weight was provided for children weighed at birth. In earlier rounds the percent distribution also included the category “Not weighed” and was based on all births. Care should be taken when comparing birth weight data with data reported in earlier DHS reports.
