The forecast for appendectomies performed in the UK between 2024 and 2028 suggests a slight declining trend. In 2023, the actual rate was slightly higher than 86.5 procedures per hundred thousand individuals. Moving through 2024 to 2028, a marginal decrease is evident, with values slipping from 86.45 to 85.8. Year-on-year percentage decreases over these years are consistent and subtle, reflecting a stable trend towards fewer procedures per capita. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period would indicate a slight negative trend.
Future trends to watch include advancements in non-surgical treatment options and a potential shift in healthcare policies that may further influence rates of appendectomies performed. Additionally, changes in population demographics and improvements in diagnostic technologies could play significant roles in shaping these rates.
