In 2023, the number of hospital discharges for varicose veins of lower extremities in France stood at approximately 9.25 thousand. The forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028 indicate a declining trend: 7.86 thousand (2024), 6.47 thousand (2025), 5.09 thousand (2026), 3.73 thousand (2027), and 2.37 thousand (2028).

Future trends to watch for include potential advances in less invasive treatment options and improved preventive measures, which may further reduce hospital discharges. Additionally, demographic changes and healthcare policies could impact future discharge rates. Policymakers and healthcare providers should focus on monitoring these factors to adapt strategies accordingly.
