Objective:
To describe the frequency of migraine and predictors of having migraine in sarcoidosis patients.
Methods:
The ID migraine questionnaire was administered to a well-phenotyped observational cohort of sarcoidosis patients (most of whom were seeking specialty care) and healthy controls. Predictors of migraine status were examined using univariate and multivariable logistic regression.
Results:
Migraine was seen in 29% of 96 patients with sarcoidosis and 13% of 39 healthy controls, ( p = 0.049). Among those with sarcoidosis, in univariate regression analysis only female sex was predictive of having migraine, and in a multivariable regression female sex remained significant (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.2-18.2). There was no association between migraine and age, depression, dyspnea, immunosuppression use, or ESR.
Conclusions:
Migraine is a common comorbidity in sarcoidosis patients. As such, better recognition and targeted treatment of migraine has the potential to improve quality of life as part of a comprehensive care plan for sarcoidosis patients.

01:11Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.
Aliphatic ketones are named by suffixing the word “ketone” to the...
