2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Northwest Territories, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Northwest Territories

1. 276 of 276 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 43% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 193 of 193 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 83 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 406 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 43% 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 individuals 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, 276 of 45,605 individuals of all ages living in Northwest Territories died from All Causes.

276 ÷ 45,605 = 0.00605 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 2,554 deaths from All Causes among 603,043 individuals of all ages living in Northwest Territories in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,554 ÷ 603,043 = 0.00424 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

45,605 X 0.00424 = 193 expected deaths

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

276 – 193 = 83

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

276 ÷ 193 = 1.4256

This reveals 83 lives lost and is 142.56% of what we expected (an increase of 43%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Northwest Territories 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):

1,656 ÷ 314,771 = 0.00526 (5-yr CDR)

45,605(2022 pop) X 0.00526 = 240 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

276 – 240 = 36 or 36 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

276 ÷ 240 = 1.1482 or an increase of 15%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Northwest Territories 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

360,376 X 0.00424 = 1,526 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1932 – 1,526 = 406 or 406 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,932 ÷ 1,526 = 1.2629 or an increase of 26%

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