2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Louisiana, United States

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

1. 52,339 of 52,339 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 23% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 42,367 of 42,367 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 9,972 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 48,989 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 23% 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, 52,339 of 4,511,539 individuals of all ages living in Louisiana died from All Causes.

52,339 ÷ 4,511,539 = 0.01160 (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 626,673 deaths from All Causes among 66,732,430 individuals of all ages living in Louisiana in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

626,673 ÷ 66,732,430 = 0.00939 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

4,511,539 X 0.00939 = 42,367 expected deaths

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

52,339 – 42,367 = 9,972

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

52,339 ÷ 42,367 = 1.2341

This reveals 9,972 lives lost and is 123.41% of what we expected (an increase of 23%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Louisiana 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):

340,095 ÷ 32,060,863 = 0.01061 (5-yr CDR)

4,511,539(2022 pop) X 0.01061 = 47,857 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

52,339 – 47,857 = 4,482 or 4,482 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

52,339 ÷ 47,857 = 1.0926 or an increase of 9%

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

36,572,402 X 0.00939 = 343,445 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

392434 – 343,445 = 48,989 or 48,989 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

392,434 ÷ 343,445 = 1.1414 or an increase of 14%

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