1) Percent distribution of live births and current pregnancies to women age 15-49 in the 3 years preceding the survey by planning status of the birth – wanted then, wanted later or not wanted at all.
2) Precent distribution of pregnancy outcomes to women age 15-49 in the 3 years preceding the survey, including current pregnancies, by planning status of the birth – wanted then, wanted later or not wanted at all.
Coverage:
Population base: All pregnancy outcomes in the three years preceding the survey to all women (KR file), including current pregnancy (IR file)
Time period: Pregnancy outcomes in the three years preceding the survey, including current pregnancy (v213 = 1)
Numerators: Live births (m10) and current pregnancies (v225) in the three years preceding the survey according to planning status of the birth:
1) wanted then (m10 = 1 or v225 = 1),
2) wanted later (m10 = 2 or v225 = 2),
3) not wanted at all (m10 = 3 or v225 = 3)
Denominator: Births in the three years preceding the survey, including current pregnancy (v213 = 1)
Variables: KR file, IR file.

Numerators are divided by the denominator.
Missing information on the planning status of a pregnancy outcome or the current pregnancy is excluded from the numerators but included in the denominator.
The fertility planning status is tabulated by birth order and mother’s age at birth. For the births in the preceding three years the birth order is the order of births, with twins counting as the same birth order:
order = bord; if b0 > 1 then order = bord - b0 + 1. For the current pregnancy, the birth order is the order of the next birth (v201 + 1), and the mother’s age at birth is the age she would be at the time of delivery: agegroup = int( (v008 + 9 - v214 - v011) / 60 ) - 2.
A pregnancy outcome refers to a miscarriage, abortion, live birth or stillbirth. Some pregnancies produce multiple outcomes, for example in the case of twins. Each pregnancy outcome is counted individually. Therefore, a pregnancy will be counted more than once if it produces multiple births (live births or stillbirths). Current pregnancies, miscarriages, and abortions are always counted as one pregnancy outcome.
