Stages and associated remission rates of Sarcoidosis = Stage 1:
Stage 1 = 55-90%
Stages and associated remission rates of Sarcoidosis = Stage 2:
Stage 2 = 40-70%
Stages and associated remission rates of Sarcoidosis = Stage 3:
Stage 3 = 10-20%

Score 0-1 Pneumonia
0-1 low risk - could be treated in community
Risk of death < 3%
Score 2 Pneumonia
2 moderate risk - hospital treatment usually required.
Risk of death = 9%
Score 3-5 Pneumonia
3-5 high risk of death and need for ITU
Risk of death = 15-40%
