1) Percent distribution of women age 15-49 who report having or having had fistula symptoms, by reported cause of fistula.
2) Percent distribution of women age 15-49 who report having or having had fistula symptoms, by number of days after the cause that symptoms began.
Coverage:
Population base: Women age 15-49 reporting past or current experience of fistula symptoms (fistula_v1 = 1) (IR file)
Time period: Lifetime of the respondent
Numerators:
1) Number of women age 15-49 who report having or having had fistula symptoms (fistula_v1 = 1) caused by (Note: country-specific response options and variables will vary. The categories below are included in the standard DHS Fistula Module):
a) After delivered a baby (fistula_v3 = 1)
· Normal labor and delivery (fistula_v4 = 1)
· Difficult labor and delivery (fistula_v4 = 2)
b) After delivered a stillbirth (fistula_v3 = 2)
· Normal labor and delivery (fistula_v4 = 1)
· Difficult labor and delivery (fistula_v4 = 2)
c) Sexual assault (fistula_v5 = 1)
d) Pelvic surgery (fistula_v5 = 2)
e) Other (fistula_v5 = 6)
2) Number of women age 15-49 who report having or having had fistula-like symptoms (fistula_v1 = 1) by number of days after the cause the symptoms began:
a) 0-1 day (fistula_v6 in 0:1)
b) 2-4 days (fistula_v6 in 2:4)
c) 5-7 days (fistula_v6 in 5:7)
d) 8+ days (fistula_v6 in 8:90)
