12 |
CharacteristicId
|
DHS has defined a list of characteristics that are used across surveys to make sure the data can be compared across countries
very easily. A characteristic ID gives you the unique ID that represents that particular characteristic.
|
13 |
CharacteristicOrder
|
Sort order in which to display characteristics.
|
14 |
CharacteristicCategory
|
DHS has defined a list of characteristic categories that are used across surveys to make sure the data can be compared across
countries very easily. This category can be used to filter data. See also CharacteristicLabel.
|
15 |
CharacteristicLabel
|
This field provides label of the characteristic within a particular characteristic category. For example, Urban and Rural are the two
characteristics within the category Residence.
|
16 |
ByVariableId
|
A characteristic ID identifying a further level of disaggregation, when an indicator is disaggregated in multiple ways. For example,
Current Use of Contraception is disaggregated by Age, but also for All women, currently married women and sexually active unmarried
women. Age is presented in the characteristic category above; the disaggregation for All women, currently married women and sexually
active unmarried women is captured in the ByVariableId and ByVariableLabel. If this additional level of disaggregation is not used
for the indicator the ByVariableId will be 0 and the ByVariableLabel will be blank. A common use of the ByVariableId and
ByVariable...
|
17 |
ByVariableLabel
|
The descriptive label for the level of disaggregation provided in the ByVariableId.
|
18 |
IsTotal
|
This column will identify if a certain value is a Total value used for national totals.
|
19 |
IsPreferred
|

|
25 |
DenominatorUnweighted
|
The unweighted denominator for the indicator data.
|

mortality ratio and the HIV prevalence indicators.
|
27 |

|
The upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the indicator. The confidence interval is only presented for the maternal
mortality ratio and the HIV prevalence indicators.
