The average length of stay (ALOS) for cholelithiasis cases in Canadian hospitals is forecasted to gradually increase from 4.5 days in 2024 to 4.8 days by 2028. This projected data reflects a steady year-on-year growth, with percentage increases each year staying consistent at around 2.2%. Looking at the five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), this suggests a minor but persistent upward trend in ALOS for these cases.
Given the projected increase in ALOS, future trends to watch for include potential advancements in medical technology or treatment protocols that could influence hospital stays. Increases in outpatient treatments and healthcare policies could also affect these forecasts.
