The WHO 2016 (and 2022) VA questionnaire asks the question (Id10309) For how many months was she pregnant? which maps to adult_3_11a in the PHMRC questionnaire. Reports of higher than expected maternal deaths when using the WHO 2016 questionnaire have identified a bug in the processing of Id10309.
The WHO 2016/2022 questionnaire provides the user instructions to answer 88 or 99 if the answer is refused or unknown, respectively. Because the upper bound for months pregnant (10 months) is contained within the PHMRC questionnaire, 88 and 99 are recognized as valid months pregnant within SmartVA. A custom mapping in who_prep.py is suggested to create an upper bound for months pregnant when mapping the WHO questionnaire.
