sulfasalazine and Sensitivity and Specificity

sulfasalazine has been researched along with Sensitivity and Specificity in 16 studies

Sulfasalazine: A drug that is used in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Its activity is generally considered to lie in its metabolic breakdown product, 5-aminosalicylic acid (see MESALAMINE) released in the colon. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p907)
sulfasalazine : An azobenzene consisting of diphenyldiazene having a carboxy substituent at the 4-position, a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position and a 2-pyridylaminosulphonyl substituent at the 4'-position.

Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

"The Combinatietherapie Bij Reumatoide Artritis (COBRA) trial demonstrated that step-down combination therapy with prednisolone, methotrexate, and sulfasalazine (SSZ) was superior to SSZ monotherapy for suppressing disease activity and radiologic progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)."5.10COBRA combination therapy in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis: long-term structural benefits of a brief intervention. ( Boers, M; Boonen, A; Dijkmans, BA; Jacobs, P; Landewé, RB; Markusse, HM; Peeters, AJ; van de Laar, MA; van Denderen, JC; van der Heijde, DM; van der Linden, S; Verhoeven, AC; Westedt, ML; Westhovens, R, 2002)
"This is a case of a 65-year-old man with seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), well controlled on methotrexate, sulfasalazine, low-dose prednisolone and monthly infusions of tocilizumab."4.89C reactive protein may not be reliable as a marker of severe bacterial infection in patients receiving tocilizumab. ( Bari, SF; Khan, A; Lawson, T, 2013)
"Sulfasalazine is a safe and effective drug in the short term treatment of AS."3.76Meta-analysis of sulfasalazine in ankylosing spondylitis. ( Atra, E; Ferraz, MB; Goldsmith, CH; Tugwell, P, 1990)
"New treatment options for patients with methotrexate (MTX)-naive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have become available."3.71A cost effectiveness analysis of treatment options for methotrexate-naive rheumatoid arthritis. ( Choi, HK; Kuntz, KM; Seeger, JD, 2002)
" Using data from the randomized double-blind Ankylosing Spondylitis Study Comparing Enbrel with Sulfasalazine Dosed Weekly (ASCEND) trial, we tested ASDAS validity and assessed its capacity to discriminate between treatment effects and change-from-baseline improvements."2.77Sensitivity and discriminatory ability of the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score in patients treated with etanercept or sulphasalazine in the ASCEND trial. ( Braun, J; Dougados, M; Koenig, AS; Pedersen, R; Sieper, J; Szumski, A; van der Heijde, D, 2012)
" Adverse events requiring the withdrawal of therapy seem to occur less frequently with balsalazide, mesalamine, and olsalazine compared with sulfasalazine."2.42The short- and long-term safety of 5-aminosalicylate products in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. ( Baker, DE; Kane, S, 2004)
" Four chemicals, using three different routes of exposure (in utero [accomplished by feeding the dam dosed feed], dosed feed, and gavage) were used to 1) evaluate the effect of diet restriction on the sensitivity of the bioassay toward chemically-induced chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity; and 2) evaluate the effect of weight-matched control groups on the sensitivity of the bioassays."1.29The sensitivity of the NTP bioassay for carcinogen hazard evaluation can be modulated by dietary restriction.
