Indicator Median number of months since preceding birth
Definition Median number of months since the preceding birth for births in the five years preceding the survey
Method of Computation "Covered births: Children both surviving and dead who have a difference between the date of interview and their birth date (both in CMC format) of 0–59 months, excluding first-born children.

Preceding birth interval: Difference between birth date of child and birth date of preceding child (in CMC format) grouped into categories. For children of multiple births, the birth date of the preceding child is the number of months since the end of the preceding pregnancy that ended in a live birth.

Median is calculated from single month percent distributions of durations of preceding birth intervals. Median is linearly interpolated between the duration month values by which 50 percent or more of the preceding intervals were closed by a birth."
