2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Baby Boy – Under 1 | United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for baby boys in their first year of life in United States

1. 2,926 of 11,371 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 25.73% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 9% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 3,197 of 13,751 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 271 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 2,380 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 3,097 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 18,687 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of United States’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are down 9% 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 baby boys in their first year of life were there?” and
• “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 2,926 of 1,882,867 baby boys in their first year of life living in United States died from Unknown Causes.

2,926 ÷ 1,882,867 = 0.00155 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 51,958 deaths from Unknown Causes among 30,600,489 baby boys in their first year of life living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

51,958 ÷ 30,600,489 = 0.00170 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,882,867 X 0.00170 = 3,197 expected deaths

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

2,926 – 3,197 = -271

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

2,926 ÷ 3,197 = 0.9099

This reveals 271 lives saved and is 90.99% of what we expected (a decrease of 9%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among baby boys in their first year of life living in United States 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):

20,460 ÷ 13,714,027 = 0.00149 (5-yr CDR)

1,882,867(2022 pop) X 0.00149 = 2,809 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2,926 – 2,809 = 117 or 117 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

2,926 ÷ 2,809 = 1.0347 or an increase of 3%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among baby boys in their first year of life living in United States 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

15,596,894 X 0.00170 = 26,483 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

23386 – 26,483 = -3,097 or 3,097 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

23,386 ÷ 26,483 = 0.8779 or a decrease of 12%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among baby boys in their first year of life living in United States in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
