OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of age, gender and ethnicity in the clinical presentation of sarcoidosis in a cohort of Spanish patients.
METHODS: We analysed 175 consecutive patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis between 1990 and 2014 in the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain. Sarcoidosis was diagnosed according to the 1999 WASOG criteria. Organ involvement was defined using the 2014 WASOG organ assessment instrument.
RESULTS: There were 110 women and 65 men, with a mean age at diagnosis of 47.31 ± 15.46 years (range, 16-92); 23% of patients were born outside Spain. Women had a higher mean age (p=0.027), a higher frequency of cutaneous (OR=2.28) and musculoskeletal (OR=2.73) symptoms at diagnosis, and a lower frequency of cumulated WASOG involvements including renal involvement (OR=0.17), hypercalcaemia (OR=0.20) and raised ACE levels (OR=0.30). Patients aged ≥65 years had a lower frequency of cutaneous (OR=0.23) and musculoskeletal (OR=0.13) symptomatology at diagnosis and a higher frequency of cumulated WASOG involvements including renal involvement (OR=18.70) and calcium/vitamin D abnormalities (OR=5.31). According to ethnicity, non-Spanish-born patients had a lower mean age (40 vs. 49 years, p=0.001), a higher predominance of females (68% vs. 54%, p=0.036) and a higher frequency of radiographic stages I/II at diagnosis (97% vs. 78%, p=0.041) in comparison with Spanish-born patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Using the new 2014 WASOG organ assessment instrument, we found that epidemiological features (age at diagnosis, gender and ethnicity) play a significant role in the presentation of sarcoidosis. Variations in these epidemiological features may aid early diagnostic suspicion, the search for histopathological confirmation and the prompt introduction of the appropriate therapy.
