Abstract
With the exception of BHL, IWOS clinical findings and investigational tests had low sensitivities for diagnosing ocular sarcoidosis. In particular, liver function tests seem to have little usefulness in diagnosing ocular sarcoidosis. Many patients suspected of having sarcoidosis did not fit into the classification system, indicating that the guidelines may need to be reconsidered. Adding novel laboratory tests and using more advanced statistical methods may lead to the development of a more generalizable classification system.
