Defining organ involvement in sarcoidosis: the ACCESS proposed instrument. ACCESS Research Group. A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis.

Abstract

The proposed instrument is partially subjective in that it depends upon the clinician's diligence in pursuing evidence for sarcoidosis involvement of various organs. It is hoped that this instrument will lead to increased standardization in the definition of sarcoidosis organ involvement to help clinicians and researchers better characterize patients with sarcoidosis.
