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

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

1. 56,456 of 56,456 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 18% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 47,863 of 47,863 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 8,593 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 44,923 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 18% 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, 56,456 of 6,044,429 individuals of all ages living in Maryland died from All Causes.

56,456 ÷ 6,044,429 = 0.00934 (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 661,301 deaths from All Causes among 83,513,336 individuals of all ages living in Maryland in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

661,301 ÷ 83,513,336 = 0.00792 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

6,044,429 X 0.00792 = 47,863 expected deaths

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

56,456 – 47,863 = 8,593

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

56,456 ÷ 47,863 = 1.1780

This reveals 8,593 lives lost and is 117.80% of what we expected (an increase of 18%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Maryland 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):

365,517 ÷ 41,571,871 = 0.00879 (5-yr CDR)

6,044,429(2022 pop) X 0.00879 = 53,145 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

56,456 – 53,145 = 3,311 or 3,311 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

56,456 ÷ 53,145 = 1.0611 or an increase of 6%

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

47,616,300 X 0.00792 = 377,050 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

421973 – 377,050 = 44,923 or 44,923 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

421,973 ÷ 377,050 = 1.1177 or an increase of 12%

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