Appendectomies performed in Italy are forecasted to decline over the next five years, from 34.24 thousand procedures in 2024 to 29.22 thousand by 2028. The data reflects a consistent annual decrease of approximately 3.92% year-on-year. By calculating the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), we observe an overall annual reduction rate of 3.96%.
