In 2023, the average length of stay for breast disorder cases in German hospitals was approximately 3.3 days. Forecasts for 2024 indicate a slight reduction to 3.2 days, with consistent projections from 2025 to 2028 maintaining at 3.1 days. This indicates a slight year-on-year decrease for 2024 and a stabilization across the subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a nominal downward trend, with an annual decrease of roughly 0.6% over this period.
Future trends to watch involve technological advancements and procedural efficiencies that could further decrease the length of hospital stays. Focus on outpatient care and enhancements in medical treatment protocols might also impact these forecasts significantly.
