The forecast for hospital discharges of multiple sclerosis (MS) cases in Italy shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 6.0 to 4.0 discharges per hundred thousand persons. This indicates a projected year-on-year decrease of approximately 10% annually. In 2023, the value stood at 6.5 discharges, based on past data. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects an average annual reduction in hospital discharges due to MS.

Future trends to watch for include:

Improvements in MS treatment and management potentially further decreasing hospitalizations.
A shift towards outpatient care reducing hospital discharge numbers.
Innovations in MS research that might impact patient care practices.
