Keep in mind “casualties” included wounded, not just dead, at a roughly 10:1 ratio. Many of those wounded may later return to the fight.

Usually 3:1 is used for estimating casualties, but I've seen some analysts suggest 2:1 is more accurate with the inadequate medical care. Our casualty numbers are largely extrapolations based on counting dead russians and applying that ratio. If the 2:1 ratio is to be believed, we are grossly overestimating the number of surviving casualties.
