Inpatient characteristics, complications, and outcomes of patients with cardiac sarcoidosis: A study from the National Inpatient Sample

Although seen in ∼5% of sarcoidosis patients, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) accounts for nearly 25% of disease-related deaths. This study aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes among CS patients. Patients diagnosed with CS in 2016–2017 in the US National Inpatient Sample Database were evaluated t...

Sumario:Although seen in ∼5% of sarcoidosis patients, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) accounts for nearly 25% of disease-related deaths. This study aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes among CS patients. Patients diagnosed with CS in 2016–2017 in the US National Inpatient Sample Database were evaluated to study patient characteristics, reasons ascribed to admission, in-hospital outcomes, and complications. A total of 2420 patients (median age 56 years) were included in the analysis. Most admissions occurred due to ventricular tachycardia (12.8%), followed by myocarditis (9.9%) with a mean length of stay of 7 ± 7 days. The overall incidence of in-hospital mortality was 2.5%.
