(1/10) #ACR24 Key Sarcoidosis Takeaways for Rheumatologists:
Sarcoidosis diagnosis relies on clinical probability, not "proof."
Patient-reported outcomes (ROS) are crucial for understanding disease extent & activity, guiding us to occult disease.
Diagnostics have limitations! Image
(2/10) #ACR24 Sarcoidosis epidemiology is complex.
Prevalence & incidence vary globally, with higher rates in Black individuals & females.
While ~80% achieve resolution in 2 years, disparities in diagnosis & treatment lead to poorer outcomes.
More research is needed! Image
Image
Image
Image
(3/10) #ACR24 Sarcoidosis etiology remains unknown.
Environmental, occupational, & infectious agents are suspected triggers.
Genetic predisposition plays a role.
Remember to consider medication reactions (TNFi's, ARVs, CTx) in the differential diagnosis. Image
