Patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis have - during prolonged observation (27 years) - the same survival as the general population. A higher mortality from sarcoidosis as well as from diseases not related to sarcoidosis is found among persons who at the time of diagnosis of sarcoidosis had respiratory symptoms and a low FEV1, TLC and Tiffeneau. Our knowledge of the prognosis for extrapulmonary manifestations and their influence on survival is sporadic. Symptoms from heart and CNS have in studies of selected patients been connected with an elevated mortality.
