The forecast for appendectomies performed on in-patients in Italy shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with values starting at 59.91 and decreasing each year to 55.67 procedures per hundred thousand persons. This trend indicates a shrinking number of procedures, down from an unknown actual figure in 2023. The year-on-year percentage decline suggests a continuous reduction in appendix surgeries over this period. Specifically, observing an annual trend: 2024-2025 (-2.0%), 2025-2026 (-1.9%), 2026-2027 (-1.8%), and 2027-2028 (-1.6%), culminating in a five-year CAGR that would approximately be around -1.9%.
Future trends to watch include advancements in medical technology and early diagnosis that could contribute to fewer surgical interventions. Additionally, evolving non-surgical treatments might further reduce the necessity for appendectomies. Monitoring healthcare policies and demographic shifts will also be key to understanding future trends in appendectomy procedures.
