The forecast for the hospital average length of stay for urolithiasis cases in Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows stability, with the duration predicted to slightly decrease from 3.7 days in 2024 to 3.6 days by 2026, continuing at that rate through 2028. Compared to 2023, the length of stay remains unchanged at 3.7 days, demonstrating a minimal decrease of 0.1 day expected by 2026.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Emerging technologies and treatment methodologies aimed at speeding recovery could further reduce hospital stays.
- Policy changes around healthcare efficiency and resource management may impact these figures.
- Aging population trends might exert opposing pressures on average stay durations due to potential complexity in cases.
