In 2023, the average length of stay in hospitals for renal failure cases in Canada was 9.9 days. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a minimal decline from 9.8 days in 2024 to 9.7 days in 2028. The year-on-year variation remains steady with a slight decrease starting in 2027. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate is negative, reflecting a gradual reduction in hospital stay length due to improvements in treatment and management.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in renal failure treatment, increased use of telemedicine, and enhancements in outpatient care management, which may decrease hospital stay durations further. Additionally, demographic changes and healthcare policy shifts may impact future hospital stay trends.
