The average length of stay for heart failure cases in Canadian hospitals is forecasted to remain relatively stable over the coming years. It stands at 10.3 days in 2024, with a slight increase to 10.4 days by 2026, maintaining that level through 2028. Compared to 2023, when it was recorded at 10.3 days, this represents minimal year-on-year variation. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is negligible, indicating stability but also a lack of significant improvement in reducing hospital stays.
Future trends to watch include advancements in heart failure treatments and technologies, which could potentially reduce hospital stay durations. Additionally, policy changes or healthcare system improvements may also impact these trends significantly.
