The forecast for the hospital average length of stay for intestinal infectious diseases, excluding diarrhea, in France, shows a gradual increase from 5.1 days in 2024 to 5.4 days by 2027, where it stabilizes through 2028. The year-on-year growth is relatively steady, with each annual increase at approximately 2%. This indicates a slight trend towards longer hospital stays over the forecast period compared to 2023. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 1.5%, reflecting a consistent but modest increase in the length of stay.
Future trends to watch for include developments in medical treatments that could either reduce the length of stay due to improved efficacy or increase it if more complex care is required. Additionally, healthcare policy changes in France could impact these trends, as the government seeks efficiencies in hospital operations.
