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

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

1. 5,285 of 20,553 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 25.71% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 8% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 5,694 of 24,550 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 409 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 3,997 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 4,467 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 31,915 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of United States’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are down 8% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 5,285 of 3,683,113 babies in their first year of life living in United States died from Unknown Causes.

5,285 ÷ 3,683,113 = 0.00143 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 92,552 deaths from Unknown 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™.

92,552 ÷ 59,864,246 = 0.00155 (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 0.00155 = 5,694 expected deaths

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

5,285 – 5,694 = -409

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

5,285 ÷ 5,694 = 0.9222

This reveals 409 lives saved and is 92.22% of what we expected (a decrease of 8%) in deaths from Unknown 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):

37,404 ÷ 26,818,241 = 0.00139 (5-yr CDR)

3,683,113(2022 pop) X 0.00139 = 5,137 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5,285 – 5,137 = 148 or 148 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

5,285 ÷ 5,137 = 1.0215 or an increase of 2%

for deaths from Unknown 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 0.00155 = 47,156 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

42689 – 47,156 = -4,467 or 4,467 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

42,689 ÷ 47,156 = 0.8995 or a decrease of 10%

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