The forecast for hospital discharges for dementia cases in Germany indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 21.4 discharges per hundred thousand persons in 2024 and decreasing to 20.2 by 2028. This represents a continuous decrease, with an average annual decline of approximately 1.4% over these five years. In 2023, the discharges stood at a higher point, providing a comparative basis for this forecasted downward trend.

Looking forward, several factors may influence these trends:

Advancements in dementia treatment and early intervention could reduce the need for hospitalization.
Demographic shifts, such as the aging population, may impact future discharge rates.
Policy changes and healthcare system improvements focused on outpatient care could further influence discharge trends.
