The data indicates an increase in the percentage of patients waiting 3 months or more for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) in Italy, rising from 5.1% in 2024 to 5.9% in 2028. This reflects a steady annual increase of approximately 3.77% year-on-year. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the period is consistent with these incremental changes. As of 2023, the baseline for the waiting time percentage was slightly lower, indicating a growing inefficiency in service delivery over the forecasted period.
For future trends, attention should be on potential policy interventions to reduce wait times, technological advancements in healthcare, and resource allocation to improve the efficiency of PTCA procedures. Monitoring these factors could influence future projections and impact waiting periods significantly.
