It's correct but their numbers are presented in a confusing manner. The UK figure is total deaths for the whole country, but the US figure is given per 100,000. There were 774,835 live births in the UK in 2016. So that's 350/774835*100000 = 45 per 100,000 vs. 90 per 100,000 in the US. So 50% lower.
