The hospital discharges for heart failure cases in Chile have shown some variability over the past decade. The count stood at 77.2 units per hundred thousand persons in 2023. From 2013 to 2023, the values fluctuated with peaks and troughs, with a notable drop in 2020 likely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The year-on-year variation in 2023 was 2.66%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, the CAGR over the last five years was -0.21%, suggesting a slight decline on average annually. Forecasts predict stability around 77.2 to 77.3 units per hundred thousand from 2024 onwards, with minimal growth projected (0.03% CAGR).
Future trends to watch for include the impact of healthcare initiatives, aging population dynamics, and changes in lifestyle and environmental factors. These elements could significantly influence hospital discharge rates for heart failure cases.
