2022 Deaths – All Causes – Baby – Under 1 | United States

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

1. 20,553 of 20,553 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 16% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 24,550 of 24,550 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3,997 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 31,915 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 16% 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 babies in their first year of life 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, 20,553 of 3,683,113 babies in their first year of life living in United States died from All Causes.

20,553 ÷ 3,683,113 = 0.00558 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 399,029 deaths from All Causes among 59,864,246 babies in their first year of life living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

399,029 ÷ 59,864,246 = 0.00667 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

3,683,113 X 0.00667 = 24,550 expected deaths

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

20,553 – 24,550 = -3,997

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

20,553 ÷ 24,550 = 0.8359

This reveals 3,997 lives saved and is 83.59% of what we expected (a decrease of 16%) in deaths from All Causes among babies 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):

150,841 ÷ 26,818,241 = 0.00562 (5-yr CDR)

3,683,113(2022 pop) X 0.00562 = 20,716 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

20,553 – 20,716 = -163 or 163 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

20,553 ÷ 20,716 = 0.9904 or a decrease of 1%

for deaths from All Causes among babies 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

30,501,354 X 0.00667 = 203,309 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

171394 – 203,309 = -31,915 or 31,915 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

171,394 ÷ 203,309 = 0.8418 or a decrease of 16%

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