In 2023, the average length of stay (ALOS) in hospitals for heart failure cases in France was 9.0 days. Forecasted data for 2024-2028 indicates a decreasing trend, with the ALOS gradually reducing from 8.8 days in 2024 to 8.6 days in 2028. The year-on-year changes are subtle, with a slight decrease of approximately 1.1% from 2027 to 2028. Over the projected period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual reduction in stay length.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of medical advancements and telemedicine on hospital stays. Improvements in treatment efficiency and outpatient care could further decrease the ALOS for heart failure patients, potentially reducing it more sharply post-2028.
