Curr Alzheimer Res 2024; 20:739-757. [PMID: 38424433 PMCID: PMC11107432 DOI: 10.2174/0115672050289946240223050737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Dementia, an international health issue distinguished by the impairment of daily functioning due to cognitive decline, currently affects more than 55 million people worldwide, with the majority residing in low-income and middle-income countries. Globally, dementia entails significant economic burdens in 2019, amounting to a cost of 1.3 trillion US dollars. Informal caregivers devote considerable hours to providing care for those affected. Dementia imposes a greater caregiving and disability-adjusted life-year burden on women. A recent study has established a correlation between prolonged Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) usage and dementia, in addition to other neurodegenerative conditions. PPIs are frequently prescribed to treat peptic ulcers and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) by decreasing stomach acid secretion. They alleviate acid-related symptoms through the inhibition of acid-secreting H+-K+ ATPase. In a number of observational studies, cognitive decline and dementia in the elderly have been linked to the use of PPIs. The precise mechanism underlying this relationship is unknown. These drugs might also alter the pH of brain cells, resulting in the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the compelling evidence supporting the association of PPIs with dementia, the results of studies remain inconsistent. The absence of a correlation between PPI use and cognitive decline in some studies emphasizes the need for additional research. Chronic PPI use can conceal underlying conditions, including cancer, celiac disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, and renal injury, highlighting dementia risk and the need for further investigations on cognitive health.

Medication overload: A closer look at polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications among older people in Taiwan and Japan. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2023; 115:105100. [PMID: 37499332 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2023.105100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) are widely recognized as vital quality indicators of pharmacotherapy in older adults. As Taiwan and Japan grapple with the ongoing challenges of population aging, obtaining an accurate understanding of the prevalence of these indicators is crucial for developing effective strategies to optimize pharmacotherapy in older populations. The present study aims to comprehensively evaluate the prevalence of polypharmacy and PIMs in Taiwan and two Japanese cohorts, shedding light on the similarities and differences in prescribing practices across these populations. METHODS This study employed a cross-sectional design to investigate individuals aged ≥65 years in Taiwan, as well as two Japanese cohorts: Japan Cohort 1 (dispensing data from chain pharmacies; year 2014 and 2019) and Japan Cohort 2 (claims data; year 2017 and 2019). The prescription records of these participants were collected from the national claims database in Taiwan for the years 2014, 2017, and 2019. To identify polypharmacy and hyper-polypharmacy, the study defined the use of 5-9 and 10+ drugs, respectively. Furthermore, the study identified PIMs based on the STOPP-J criteria. Notably, the study further explored the most frequently used PIMs (by categories) in Taiwan. RESULTS In the year 2019, the prevalence of polypharmacy exhibited similar rates in Taiwan (35.4%) and Japan Cohort 2 (33.1%), while surpassing that of Japan Cohort 1 (25.6%). Nonetheless, the incidence of PIMs in Taiwan was the highest (66.5%), exceeding those of the two Japanese cohorts (Cohort 1: 43.7% and Cohort 2: 40.2%) in the same year. Notably, the top three categories of commonly used PIMs in Taiwan comprised non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antithrombotic drugs, and benzodiazepines. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the varying prevalence of polypharmacy and PIMs between Taiwan and Japan, but emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts towards optimizing pharmacotherapy in older adults.

[PMID: 37558503 PMCID: PMC10634644 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Studies on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and dementia report mixed results and do not examine the impact of cumulative PPI use. We evaluated the associations between current and cumulative PPI use and risk of incident dementia in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. METHODS These analyses used participants from a community-based cohort (ARIC) from the time of enrollment (1987-1989) through 2017. PPI use was assessed through visual medication inventory at clinic visits 1 (1987-1989) to 5 (2011-2013) and reported annually in study phone calls (2006-2011). This study uses ARIC visit 5 as baseline because this was the first visit in which PPI use was common. PPI use was examined 2 ways: current use at visit 5 and duration of use before visit 5 (from visit 1 to 2011, exposure categories: 0 day, 1 day-2.8 years, 2.8-4.4 years, >4.4 years). The outcome was incident dementia after visit 5. Cox proportional hazard models were used, adjusted for demographics, comorbid conditions, and other medication use. RESULTS A total of 5,712 dementia-free participants at visit 5 (mean age 75.4 ± 5.1 years; 22% Black race; 58% female) were included in our analysis. The median follow-up was 5.5 years. The minimum cumulative PPI use was 112 days, and the maximum use was 20.3 years. There were 585 cases of incident dementia identified during follow-up. Participants using PPIs at visit 5 were not at a significantly higher risk of developing dementia during subsequent follow-up than those not using PPIs (hazard ratio (HR): 1.1 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.9-1.3]). Those who used PPIs for >4.4 cumulative years before visit 5 were at 33% higher risk of developing dementia during follow-up (HR: 1.3 [95% CI 1.0-1.8]) than those reporting no use. Associations were not significant for lesser durations of PPI use. DISCUSSION Future studies are needed to understand possible pathways between cumulative PPI use and the development of dementia. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that the use of prescribed PPIs for >4.4 years by individuals aged 45 years and older is associated with a higher incidence of newly diagnosed dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dementia development is a complex process in which the occurrence and sequential relationships of different diseases or conditions may construct specific patterns leading to incident dementia. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify patterns of disease or symptom clusters and their sequences prior to incident dementia using a novel approach incorporating machine learning methods. METHODS Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, data from 15,700 older people with dementia and 15,700 nondementia controls matched on age, sex, and index year (n=10,466, 67% for the training data set and n=5234, 33% for the testing data set) were retrieved for analysis. Using machine learning methods to capture specific hierarchical disease triplet clusters prior to dementia, we designed a study algorithm with four steps: (1) data preprocessing, (2) disease or symptom pathway selection, (3) model construction and optimization, and (4) data visualization. RESULTS Among 15,700 identified older people with dementia, 10,466 and 5234 subjects were randomly assigned to the training and testing data sets, and 6215 hierarchical disease triplet clusters with positive correlations with dementia onset were identified. We subsequently generated 19,438 features to construct prediction models, and the model with the best performance was support vector machine (SVM) with the by-group LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression method (total corresponding features=2513; accuracy=0.615; sensitivity=0.607; specificity=0.622; positive predictive value=0.612; negative predictive value=0.619; area under the curve=0.639). In total, this study captured 49 hierarchical disease triplet clusters related to dementia development, and the most characteristic patterns leading to incident dementia started with cardiovascular conditions (mainly hypertension), cerebrovascular disease, mobility disorders, or infections, followed by neuropsychiatric conditions. CONCLUSIONS Dementia development in the real world is an intricate process involving various diseases or conditions, their co-occurrence, and sequential relationships. Using a machine learning approach, we identified 49 hierarchical disease triplet clusters with leading roles (cardio- or cerebrovascular disease) and supporting roles (mental conditions, locomotion difficulties, infections, and nonspecific neurological conditions) in dementia development. Further studies using data from other countries are needed to validate the prediction algorithms for dementia development, allowing the development of comprehensive strategies to prevent or care for dementia in the real world.

Abstract
AIMS Frailty substantially increased the risk of adverse clinical outcomes, which was also critical in diabetes management. This study aimed to investigate the interrelationships between the age of onset, frailty, anti-diabetic medications and clinical outcomes in people with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS A total of 123,172 people aged 40 years and older who were newly diagnosed with DM were identified and categorised into four frailty subgroups (robust, mild, moderate and severe) based on the multimorbidity frailty index (mFI). Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine associations between frailty and clinical outcomes at different ages of DM onsets (40-64, 65-74, 75-84 and 85+ years). Outcomes of interest included generic outcomes (mortality and unplanned hospitalisation) and DM-related outcomes (cardiovascular disease-related mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), diabetes-related hospitalisation and hypoglycaemia). RESULTS The proportion of frailty increased with age at diagnosis amongst people with incident DM and the mFI scores increased significantly during the 10-year follow-up. Amongst people with diabetes, those with mild, moderate and severe frailty were associated with greater risks of all-cause mortality (mild: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.69 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.60-1.80], P < 0.01; moderate: aHR 2.46 [2.29-2.65], P < 0.01; severe frailty: aHR 3.40 [3.16-3.65], P < 0.01) compared with the robust group. Similar results were found in unplanned hospitalisations, cardiovascular disease-related mortality, MACEs and hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS Our study quantified the prevalence of frailty, captured its dynamic changes and examined its impacts on various clinical outcomes amongst people with diabetes at different ages at onset. Frailty assessment and management should be implemented into routine diabetes care.

Abstract
AIM Previous studies on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) intake and the increased risk of dementia has shown discrepancies in their conclusions. We aimed to provide updated evidence based on extensive bias assessments and quantitative sensitivity analyses. METHODS We searched the databases PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CENTRAL and clinicaltrials.gov for prospective studies that examined an association between PPI use and dementia, up to February 2022. Each study was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tools for non-randomized studies of interventions (ROBINS-I) or randomized trials (RoB2). Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% prediction intervals were computed using random-effects models. Sensitivity analyses were adjusted for small-study bias. RESULTS We included nine observational studies with 204 108 dementia cases in the primary analysis on the association between PPI use vs. non-use and dementia, and the RR was 1.16 (95% CI = 1.00; 1.35). After adjusting for small-study bias by Copas selection model and Rücker's shrinkage procedure, the RR was 1.16 (1.02; 1.32) and 1.15 (1.13; 1.17), respectively. A subgroup analysis of PPI use vs. non-use regarding Alzheimer's disease risk yielded an RR of 1.15 (0.89; 1.50). The secondary analysis on the risk of dementia by use of PPI vs. histamine-2 receptor antagonist showed an RR of 1.03 (0.66; 1.62). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis provided no clear evidence for an association between PPI intake and the risk of dementia. Due to discrepancies in sensitivity analyses, however, some risk of dementia by PPI use cannot be ruled out. Since an unequivocal conclusion is still pending, further research is warranted.

Abstract
The association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and dementia remains controversial. This cohort study re-examines this issue, addressing shortcomings identified in previous publications using a population-based and a high-dimension propensity-score matched cohort to follow patients for up to 22 years. Cox regression models using baseline characteristics, a lag period, and time-varying variables were used to examine the risk of dementia by cumulative PPI exposure. High-dose PPI users (> 180 days of use) had significantly higher risk of dementia in crude Cox models. After adjustment for medical diagnoses and prescription drug use, these associations disappeared. Among high-dose users starting PPI therapy between 46 and 55 years old, the unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.55 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14, 2.10); the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) was 1.10 (95% CI 0.80, 1.51). For high-dose users starting therapy between 56 and 65 years, HR = 1.22 (95% CI1.03, 1.44); aHR = 0.99 (95% CI 0.83, 1.17). High-dose users between the ages of 66 and 75 years had no association with the risk of dementia. The use of lag models or time-varying parameters similarly found some association with dementia in crude, but not multivariable Cox models. Although high-dose PPI users were more likely to develop dementia, they were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia risk factors, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are risk factors for dementia. Controlling for these conditions using multivariable models or a propensity-score matched cohort eliminated this association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies suggest associations between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and dementia risk; however, many neither considered histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) nor baseline cognitive status. METHODS Participants (National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Database; 2005-2021) using a PPI or H2RA were compared. Covariate-adjusted Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for progression from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and from MCI to dementia over 5 years. In a propensity-score-matched subsample of mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), mixed-effects negative binomial regression was used to estimate decline in delayed recall memory. RESULTS Compared to PPI, H2RA use was associated with earlier progression from MCI to dementia (HR = 1.40 [1.09-1.81]; n = 1701), and with faster memory decline in AD over time (rate ratio = 0.76 [0.64-0.92]; n = 628), but not with progression from normal cognition to MCI (HR = 0.94 [0.71-1.24]; n = 2784). DISCUSSION Compared to PPIs, H2RAs were associated with cognitive decline, specifically among people with pre-existing cognitive impairment.

All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, major cardiovascular events and hypoglycaemia of patients with diabetes onset at an older age: results from the 10-year nationwide cohort study. Age Ageing 2021; 50:2094-2104. [PMID: 34628489 DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afab183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Longitudinal adverse outcomes are unclear among adults with diabetes according to the age of onset. OBJECTIVE To investigate the longitudinal diabetes-related outcomes in adults with new-onset diabetes stratified by age. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database claims data from 2000 to 2015. SUBJECTS In total, 115,751 participants aged ≥40 years with new-onset diabetes in 2003 were recruited and stratified by the ages 40-64 (64.3%), 65-74 (21.2%), 75-84 (11.8%) and ≥85 years (2.7%) at the time of diagnosis. METHODS Time-varying multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for covariates was used to examine the associations between the ages of the patients at diabetes onset and the outcomes of interest [all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, major cardiovascular events (MACE) and hypoglycaemia] during a 10-year follow-up period. RESULTS The results showed that compared with those patients aged 40-64 at diagnosis, patients with older-onset diabetes had significantly higher comorbidities (P < 0.01) and a higher diabetes severity (P < 0.01). Patients with older-onset diabetes had a higher risk of all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 2.28, 4.48 and 10.07 in 65-74, 75-84 and ≥85 years old, respectively], CV mortality (aHR = 2.82, 6.06 and 15.91), MACE (aHR = 2.19, 3.01 and 4.15) and hypoglycaemia (aHR = 2.41, 3.59 and 4.62) than patients aged 40-64 during a 10-year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetes onset at an older age was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality, CV mortality, MACE and hypoglycaemia after adjusting for the severity of diabetes and anti-diabetic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Of 58 medication adherence group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) published studies, 74% used binary and 26% used continuous GBTM. Few studies provided a rationale for this choice. No medication adherence studies have compared continuous and binary GBTM. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess whether continuous versus binary GBTM: (1) impacts adherence trajectory shapes; and (2) results in the differential classification of patients into adherence groups. METHODS Patients were prevalent statin users with myocardial infarction hospitalization, 66+ years old, and continuously enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare. Statin medication adherence was measured 6 months prehospitalization using administrative claims. Final GBTM specifications beyond default settings were selected using a previously defined standardized procedure and applied separately to continuous and binary (proportion of days covered ≥0.80) medication adherence measures. Assignment to adherence groups was compared between continuous and binary models using percent agreement of patient classification and the κ coefficient. RESULTS Among 113,296 prevalent statin users, 4 adherence groups were identified in both models. Three groups were consistent: persistently adherent, progressively nonadherent, and persistently nonadherent. The fourth continuous group was moderately adherent (progressively adherent in the binary model). When comparing patient assignment into adherence groups between continuous and binary trajectory models, only 78.4% of patients were categorized into comparable groups (κ=0.641; 95% confidence interval: 0.638-0.645). The agreement was highest in the persistently adherent group (∼94%). CONCLUSIONS Continuous and binary trajectory models are conceptually different measures of medication adherence. The choice between these approaches should be guided by study objectives and the role of medication adherence within the study-exposure, outcome, or confounder.

The inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors and its associated factors among community-dwelling older adults. Heliyon 2021; 7:e07595. [PMID: 34337188 PMCID: PMC8313491 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e07595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Little is known about the inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and how mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and high comorbid burden relate to the inappropriate prescribing of PPIs. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine these associations among community-dwelling older adults in Jordan. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted on 215 community-dwelling older adults from three local healthcare centers located in Irbid, Jordan. Data about PPI use, including the name of medication, dose, frequency, duration, and indication, were collected retrospectively from a review of the participating older adults’ medication cards for November and December 2019. The collected data were evaluated based on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. MCI was measured using the Arabic version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and comorbid burden was measured using the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics. Results Forty-seven percent of the participants were found to have taken a PPI, with 68 % having taken one for a longer period than recommended by the FDA. Older adults with MCI or high comorbid burden were found to be more susceptible than other older adults to the long-term use of PPIs. The logistic regression revealed that MCI is a statistically significant predictor of inappropriate PPI use (p < 0.001). Conclusion Inappropriate PPI use is common among community-dwelling older adults in Jordan, with a significantly higher prevalence of inappropriate PPI use in people with MCI than in people with normal cognitive abilities. Future intervention studies are highly recommended to encourage optimal prescribing of PPIs for community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was widely used around the world. Studies suggested conflicting results between PPI treatment and dementia event. This study examined the association between six PPI agents and dementia event by mining the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2020. We employed proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and information element (IC) methods to detect the signals of dementia relevant to PPI. We also analyzed characteristics of PPI and positive control reports, compared dementia event between long- and short-duration of PPI treatment. Finally, we identified 2396 dementia cases with PPI treatment. We did not detect significant signal between PPI and dementia event: PRR = 0.98, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.02, IC = −0.03, 95%CI − 0.17 to 0.10, even in gastroesophageal reflux disease cases: PRR = 0.65, 95%CI 0.59 to 0.72, IC = −0.62, 95%CI − 0.97 to − 0.27. No significant differences of dementia event were detected between long- and short- duration groups, the OR (95%CI) of the 3 years, 5 years and 10 years comparison were 0.70 (0.48 to 1.02), 0.72 (0.45 to 1.15) and 1.65 (0.75 to 3.63), respectively. Based on the current FAERS data mining, we discovered no association between PPI use and dementia event, even in long-term PPI therapy case.

Abstract
A decade has passed since we published a comprehensive review in this journal addressing the topic of promoting successful cognitive aging, making this a good time to take stock of the field. Because there have been limited large-scale, randomized controlled trials, especially following individuals from middle age to late life, some experts have questioned whether recommendations can be legitimately offered about reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Despite uncertainties, clinicians often need to at least make provisional recommendations to patients based on the highest quality data available. Converging lines of evidence from epidemiological/cohort studies, animal/basic science studies, human proof-of-concept studies, and human intervention studies can provide guidance, highlighting strategies for enhancing cognitive reserve and preventing loss of cognitive capacity. Many of the suggestions made in 2010 have been supported by additional research. Importantly, there is a growing consensus among major health organizations about recommendations to mitigate cognitive decline and promote healthy cognitive aging. Regular physical activity and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors have been supported by all of these organizations. Most organizations have also embraced cognitively stimulating activities, a heart-healthy diet, smoking cessation, and countering metabolic syndrome. Other behaviors like regular social engagement, limiting alcohol use, stress management, getting adequate sleep, avoiding anticholinergic medications, addressing sensory deficits, and protecting the brain against physical and toxic damage also have been endorsed, although less consistently. In this update, we review the evidence for each of these recommendations and offer practical advice about behavior-change techniques to help patients adopt brain-healthy behaviors.

Possible dementia risk of proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers use in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori: A meta-analysis study. Med Hypotheses 2020; 144:109989.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The risk of dementia when using proton-pump-inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-receptor-blockers as a treatment of Helicobacter-pylori have a lot of controversial-research with different results; however, no final recommendation was deduced from all these researches. A meta-analysis study was performed to evaluate the relationship between PPIs and H2-receptor-blockers use and dementia. METHODS Through a systematic literature search up to December-2019, 10-studies with 371951-subjects of them 71021Helicobacter-pylori-positive subjects using either PPIs or H2-receptor-blockers or both were identified reporting-relationships between PPIs and H2-receptor-blockers uses and dementia (10-studies contained PPIS, 4-contained H2-receptor-blockers). Odd-ratio (OR) with 95% confidence-intervals (CIs) was calculated comparing PPIs and H2-receptor-blockers users and to non-user subjects on the bases of dementia using the dichotomous-method with a random-effect-model. RESULTS No significant difference was found between PPIs-users or non-user (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.62-1.22) or between H2-receptor blockers-users and non-users (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.91-1.59) as a risk of dementia. The extent of increases in dementia with H2-receptor-blockers was higher than that with PPIs. The impact of PPIs and H2-receptor-blockers was similar in all populations. CONCLUSIONS Based on this meta-analysis, the contentious use of PPIs or H2-receptor-blockers may not have an independent-relationship to dementia. This suggests that using PPIs or H2-receptor-blockers is not related to dementia. However, we still have to recommend careful use of PPIs and H2-receptor-blockers when treating Helicobacter-pylori and sticking to the dose and length of treatment and not to extend it to avoid any possible risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A growing body of literature suggests the association between dementia risk and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between PPI use and dementia risk. METHODS An extensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane till March 31, 2019. All the studies (cohort and case-control) assessing the association between PPI use and dementia risk were eligible for inclusion. Articles were selected based on the screening of title and abstract, data were extracted, and risk of bias was assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The primary outcome was pooled risk of dementia among PPI user as compared with non-PPI user. Secondary outcomes include dementia risk based on subgroups. Statistical analysis was performed using review manager software. RESULTS Twelve studies (eight cohort and four case-control) were found to be eligible for inclusion. Majority of the studies were of high quality. Dementia was diagnosed based on International Classification of Diseases 9/10 codes in majority of the included studies. PPI use was not associated with the dementia risk, with a pooled relative risk (RR) of 1.05 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96-1.15), P = 0.31. Subgroup analysis based on study design (cohort: P = 0.14; case-control: P = 0.14), sex (RR 1.25 [95% CI: 0.97-1.60], P = 0.08), histamine 2 receptor antagonist blockers (P = 0.93), and Alzheimer's disease (RR 1.00 [95% CI: 0.91-1.09], P = 0.93) revealed no significant association between PPI use and dementia risk. CONCLUSION We found no significant association between PPI use and the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
