Based on the forecasted data for hospital discharges related to adnexa and eye diseases in South Korea, the projected numbers from 2024 to 2028 show a very slight downward trend. Specifically, the values decrease from 127.5 units per hundred thousand persons in 2024 to 126.9 in 2028. The year-on-year variations reflect minimal declines: -0.16% (2024 to 2025), -0.08% (2025 to 2026), -0.16% (2026 to 2027), and -0.08% (2027 to 2028). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 stands at approximately -0.11% per year, indicating a slow but steady reduction in hospital discharges over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in prevention and treatment technologies, public health initiatives aiming to reduce the incidence of adnexa and eye diseases, and demographic changes such as an aging population, which could impact the demand for ophthalmic healthcare services.
