2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – All Ages | Saskatchewan, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for women of all ages in Saskatchewan

1. 5,393 of 5,393 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 6% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 5,097 of 5,097 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 296 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,464 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 6% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2022 and for the Old Normal.

Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:

• “How many women of all ages were there?” and
• “How many of them died from All Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 5,393 of 593,582 women of all ages living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

5,393 ÷ 593,582 = 0.00909 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from All Causes

The table shows there were a total of 62,165 deaths from All Causes among 7,239,633 women of all ages living in Saskatchewan in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

62,165 ÷ 7,239,633 = 0.00859 (Old Normal CDR)

We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

593,582 X 0.00859 = 5,097 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:

5,393 – 5,097 = 296

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:

5,393 ÷ 5,097 = 1.0569

This reveals 296 lives lost and is 105.69% of what we expected (an increase of 6%) in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Saskatchewan in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):

32,767 ÷ 4,020,951 = 0.00815 (5-yr CDR)

593,582(2022 pop) X 0.00815 = 4,837 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5,393 – 4,837 = 556 or 556 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

5,393 ÷ 4,837 = 1.1135 or an increase of 11%

for deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Saskatchewan in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.

Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?

Finally, the same method can also be used to compare our Old Normal rate to the New Normal™ rate:

New Normal™ population X Old Normal rate = expected deaths

4,614,533 X 0.00859 = 39,624 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

38160 – 39,624 = -1,464 or 1,464 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

38,160 ÷ 39,624 = 0.9619 or a decrease of 4%

in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Saskatchewan in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
