Abstract

Purpose of review: The review presents an overview of the scientific publications in the field of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in sarcoidosis. Recent findings: Literature on HRQL in sarcoidosis is limited. HRQL was mainly used as a primary or secondary endpoint in intervention studies. Moreover, most studies have measured HRQL in sarcoidosis by means of the generic questionnaire 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. Sarcoidosis-specific questionnaires and computer-adapted testing are innovative approaches to the field. Summary: HRQL as a primary or secondary outcome in sarcoidosis studies is still scarce. In addition to the proper definition of the concept, the mode of measurement of HRQL remains a matter of debate. Because health-economical evaluations require data on gained quality of life, future studies on sarcoidosis should include HRQL as the study endpoint
