  • Title: Controlled trial of clinical utility of serum salicylate monitoring in rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Tugwell P, Hart L, Kraag G, Park A, Dok C, Bianchi F, Goldsmith C, Buchanan WW.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1984 Aug; 11(4):457-61. PubMed ID: 6481719.
    Abstract:
    A crossover double-blind controlled trial was performed on 36 patients with rheumatoid arthritis to assess the necessity for serum salicylate monitoring in determining optimal dosage. There was no clinically or statistically significant increase in the clinical improvement of patients associated with serum monitoring but potentially toxic serum levels occurred without tinnitus when serum monitoring was not used.
