2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Saskatchewan, Canada

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

1. 11,275 of 11,275 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 7% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 10,498 of 10,498 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 777 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,586 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 7% 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, 11,275 of 1,194,803 individuals of all ages living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

11,275 ÷ 1,194,803 = 0.00944 (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 126,914 deaths from All Causes among 14,444,777 individuals of all ages living in Saskatchewan in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

126,914 ÷ 14,444,777 = 0.00879 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,194,803 X 0.00879 = 10,498 expected deaths

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

11,275 – 10,498 = 777

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

11,275 ÷ 10,498 = 1.0728

This reveals 777 lives lost and is 107.28% of what we expected (an increase of 7%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals 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):

67,818 ÷ 8,101,491 = 0.00837 (5-yr CDR)

1,194,803(2022 pop) X 0.00837 = 10,002 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

11,275 – 10,002 = 1,273 or 1,273 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

11,275 ÷ 10,002 = 1.1260 or an increase of 13%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals 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

9,296,294 X 0.00879 = 81,679 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

79093 – 81,679 = -2,586 or 2,586 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

79,093 ÷ 81,679 = 0.9672 or a decrease of 3%

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