Forecast: Hospital Average Length of Stay for Malignant Neoplasm of Colon, Rectum and Anus in Canada

In 2023, the average length of stay for malignant neoplasm of the colon, rectum, and anus in Canadian hospitals was 8.6 days. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline from 8.4 to 7.8 days, reflecting a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.4% in 2024-2025 and a lower pace of decline through 2028.
