Dr. Michelle Sharp discusses the findings of a study on pulmonary sarcoidosis outcomes based on various patient demographics.

A recent paper in Thorax examined the outcomes for patients grouped by pulmonary function phenotypes, race and sex. First author for the study, Dr. Michelle Sharp¹, joins social media editor Dr. Kate Diomede to talk through the findings.
