As of 2023, the number of hospital discharges for Alzheimer's disease cases in the UK stood at approximately 7.82 thousand. The forecast indicates a slight upward trend in discharges, increasing from 7.84 thousand in 2024 to 7.93 thousand in 2028. This reflects a modest year-on-year increase of 0.38% from 2024 to 2028. Over this period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) remains low, illustrating a slowly rising trend in Alzheimer's disease hospital discharges.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of new treatment options and early diagnosis on hospital discharge rates.
- Potential changes in healthcare policy or funding that could influence Alzheimer's care.
- Demographic shifts, such as an aging population, which could lead to an increased incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
