Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical practice guidelines to standardise screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for CTD-ILD are of high importance for optimised patient care.
Methods: A European Respiratory Society and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology task force committee, composed of pulmonologists, rheumatologists, pathologists, radiologists, methodologists and patient representatives, developed recommendations based on PICO (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) questions with grading of the evidence according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations) methodology and complementary narrative questions agreed on by both societies.

Purpose Of Review: Diagnosing sarcoidosis remains challenging. Histology findings and a variable clinical presentation can mimic other infectious, malignant, and autoimmune diseases. This review synthesizes current evidence on histopathology, sampling techniques, imaging modalities, and biomarkers and explores how emerging 'omics' and artificial intelligence tools may sharpen diagnostic accuracy.

Background: Prior work has reported differences in the prevalence of sarcoidosis as well as patient outcomes based on race, gender, and socioeconomic status. We investigated whether sociodemographic factors were associated with referral to pulmonary medicine at a large academic center for patients with an incident international classification of diseases (ICD) diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study examining the associations between sociodemographic factors and time to pulmonary medicine referral in patients with an incident ICD diagnosis of sarcoidosis between October 31, 2011, and October 30, 2021.
