The forecasted hospital discharges in Italy for acute upper respiratory infections and influenza show a significant decline from 10.52 thousand in 2024 to 1.24 thousand in 2028. The anticipated year-on-year reduction indicates a strong downward trend, with notable declines each year. Comparing 2023 figures, the expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a continued drop annually over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of public health interventions and vaccination campaigns on the reduction of cases.
Changes in healthcare policy and hospital capacity, which may influence discharge rates.
The emergence of new respiratory virus strains or changes in virus behavior affecting infection rates.
