Anticholinergic drugs and incident dementia, mild cognitive impairment and cognitive decline: A meta-analysis

Age and Aging|July 1, 2020
A
systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to examine the link
between anticholinergic drugs and the risk of dementia, mild cognitive
impairment and cognitive decline among older people, to ultimately
clarify the long-term impact of anticholinergic drugs on cognitive
function. For this purpose, the relevant studies with ≥12 weeks
follow-up, published between January 2002 and April 2018, were
identified. This analysis included 26 studies with 621,548 participants.
Findings from observational studies showed increased dementia incidence
and cognitive decline in correlation with anticholinergic drug use.
Since studies were observational with considerable risk of bias, so,
experts could not conclude a causal link. To guide the management of
long-term use, stronger evidence from high-quality studies is required.
