The forecast for scientific publications in pulmonary and respiratory medicine in the US suggests a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. With a projected rise from 2.38 thousand publications in 2024 to 2.60 thousand in 2028, this reflects a consistent upward trend. Comparing year-on-year growth, there is a gradual increase that signifies a healthy expansion in research output. Calculating the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years offers insight into the average annual growth rate, solidifying the trend of incremental progress as compared to the actual data up to 2023.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements and healthcare innovations on research outputs, as well as potential shifts in funding priorities and policy changes in respiratory health research which could accelerate or decelerate the publication growth rate.
