1) Among women age 15-49 who experienced symptoms of fistula and sought treatment, the percent distribution by outcome of treatment.
2) Among women age 15-49 who experienced symptoms of fistula and sought treatment, the percentage who had an operation.
Coverage:
Population base: Women age 15-49 reporting past or current fistula symptoms (fistula_v1 = 1) and sought treatment (fistula_v7 = 1) (IR file)
Time period: Lifetime of the respondent
Numerators:
1) Number of women age 15-49 who experienced fistula symptoms (fistula_v1 = 1) and sought treatment (fistula_v7=1) by outcome:
a) Treatment stopped the leakage completely (fistula_v11 = 1)
b) Treatment didn’t stop the leakage completely but reduced it (fistula_v11 = 2)
c) Treatment didn’t stop the leakage at all (fistula_v11 = 3)
d) Didn’t receive treatment (fistula_v11 = 4)
2) Number of women age 15-49 who had fistula operation (fistula_v10 = 1)
Denominator: Number of women age 15-49 who experienced fistula symptoms and sought treatment (fistula_v1 = 1 & fistula_v7 = 1)
Variables: IR file.
