Prognosis of sarcoidosis. An unresolved issue
1Department of Medicine, Hospital de Bellvitge, University of Barcelona, Spain.
Abstract:
Prognosis of sarcoidosis may be difficult to establish because the disease may follow an unpredictable course. It depends mainly on the persistence of activity over time and on the type of organ involved and its degree of functional impairment. It would be very useful for clinicians to be able to identify at diagnosis which factors would predict the final outcome of the disease. Multivariate statistical models are proposed in order to study factors influencing the persistence of activity as one of the best methods of studying the prognosis of sarcoidosis.
