Abstract

The increase in research studies focusing on neuropsychiatric symptoms over the last decade has greatly increased our knowledge base, particularly with regard to the frequency of these symptoms and their impact on both patients and carers. We still have a poor understanding of the natural course of these symptoms and their biologic correlates, however, and more specific treatment studies are needed to inform clinical management.

J Clin Psychiatry 1999, 60:107–115. Although disparate symptoms were grouped together for the main analysis, this paper is important as the largest double-blind placebocontrolled trial of a pharmaceutical treatment for BPSD. Although BPSD scores decreased significantly mor ein the risperidone-treated patients, the difference in the proportion of people with a clinically significant response was 68% on active treatment, compared with 61% on placebo, supporting the conclusions from previous reports, which indicate a significant but modest benefit from neurologic treatment.

There is a clear need for specific trials of cholinesterase inhibitors for the treatment of psychosis in dementia.

There are very few double-blind trials focusing in the treatment of depression in dementia, and most of the literature suggests relatively little benefit for tricyclic antidepressants over placebo. This study, which suggests that paroxetine is significantly more efficacious imipramine in hence extremely interesting, with potentially important implications for treatment and mechanisms. Further treatment studies with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, however, are required.

This study evaluates the accuracy with which dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease can be diagnosed retrospectively applying operationalized clinical criteria to cases with confirmed neuropathologic diagnoses. It investigates the value of assessing specific features for both conditions, including fluctuating levels of confusion (FC) and highlights some of the difficulties with the reliable clinical identification of FC.
