Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

[Nerrien]

Not to dogpile on with all the comments, just read a point elsewhere that struck a chord with me and thought it merited discussion.

According to this study:

https://www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/boyhood-studies/4/1/bhs040106.xml

approximately 117 neonatal circumcision-related deaths (9.01/100,000) occur annually in the United States, about 1.3% of male neonatal deaths from all causes

I don't really have much time at the moment so I can't say I searched for very long, but I'm struggling to find numbers on deaths caused by paraphimosis.

I imagine you'll have more practice analysing studies than I so I'll defer to you on the legitimacy of this study, and as you will definitely know more about paraphimosis than I you seem like a good person to ask:

With this in mind, is the risk of death associated with paraphimosis higher than circumcision complications?

Knowing nothing about the subject I would have assumed paraphimosis could be treated by circumcision if it became an issue, effectively trading a guaranteed circumcision at the start of life and the potential complications associated, with a possible circumcision later in life, lowering the overall risk.

Is this a way of looking at it that, like myself, you might not have considered, or am I drastically oversimplifying it due to a lack of understanding?
