Abstract

To comprehensively assess the effects of pharmacologic interventions for prevention of delirium in hospitalized older people. A systematic review with meta-analysis following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology was performed. Hospitalized people aged 65 and older, recruited to randomized controlled clinical trials. The electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, WOS and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were consulted (March 2019). Predefined criteria were used to determine inclusion of studies and to assess their methodologic quality. 1855 records were identified in the database, and after removing the duplicates, the titles and abstracts evaluated were 1250 records. Finally, 25 randomized controlled trials contributed to meta-analysis (n = 5820): 1 anti-epileptics (n = 697), 2 anti-inflammatories (n = 615), 4 antipsychotics (n = 1193), 2 cholinesterase inhibitors (n = 87), 13 hypnotics/sedatives (n = 2909), 1 opioids (n = 52), 1 psychostimulants/nootropics (n = 81), 1 yokukansan (n = 186). Olanzapine (RR = 0.36; 95 %CI: 0.24, 0.52; k = 1; n = 400), rivastigmine (RR = 0.36; 95 %CI: 0.15, 0.87; k = 1; n = 62), dexmedetomidine (RR = 0.52; 95 %CI: 0.38, 0.71; I² = 55 %; k = 6; n =...Continue Reading
