As of 2023, the number of new extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases in Italy stood at approximately 822. The forecast suggests a gradual decline in the number of cases, predicted to decrease annually by about 0.61% from 2024 to 2028. The extrapolation indicates a steady downward trend, with the number of cases dropping slightly each year from 817 cases in 2024 to 797 cases by 2028. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, this results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.61%, reflecting a modest reduction in the incidence of new cases annually.
- Future trends to watch include potential changes in public health policies, vaccination rates, and healthcare practices that may impact the rate of new cases.
- Monitoring improvements in diagnostic technologies could further influence the detection and reporting of extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases.
- The ongoing impact of global health initiatives and socioeconomic factors should also be considered as they may affect the incidence rate.
