The hospital average length of stay for peptic ulcer cases in Germany was 7.7 days in 2023. Forecasts suggest a gradual decline from 7.6 days in 2024 to 7.4 days by 2028. This represents a 0.1-day reduction per year between 2025 and 2028, translating to annual decreases of approximately 1.3% and a five-year CAGR close to -0.8%.
Future trends to watch for include advances in medical treatments and technologies, which may further reduce hospital stays. Additionally, shifts in healthcare policies and improvements in outpatient care could also influence these figures moving forward.
