Abstract

BACKGROUND: Observational studies have shown reduced risk of Alzheimer dementia in users of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of naproxen sodium and celecoxib on cognitive function in older adults. DESIGN: Randomized, double-masked chemoprevention trial. SETTING: Six US memory clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Men and women aged 70 years and older with a family history of Alzheimer disease; 2117 of 2528 enrolled had follow-up cognitive assessment. INTERVENTIONS: Celecoxib (200 mg twice daily), naproxen sodium (220 mg twice daily), or placebo, randomly allocated in a ratio of 1:1:1.5, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Seven tests of cognitive function and a global summary score measured annually. RESULTS: Longitudinal analyses showed lower global summary scores over time for naproxen compared with placebo (- 0.05 SDs; P = .02) and lower scores on the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination over time for both treatment groups compared with placebo (- 0.33 points for celecoxib [P = .04] and - 0.36 points for naproxen [P = .02]). Restriction of analyses to measures collected from persons without dementia attenuated the treatment group differences. Analyses limited to measures obtained while participants were being issued study drugs produced results similar to the intention-to-treat analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Use of naproxen or celecoxib did not improve cognitive function. There was weak evidence for a detrimental effect of naproxen.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Considering the failure of prospective studies with NSAID treatment, the beneficial effects of NSAIDs is presumed to be related to pre-morbid function.

    “Considering the failure of prospective studies with NSAID treatment (111), the beneficial effects of NSAIDs is presumed to be related to pre-morbid function.”
  • Long-term, large-scale population trials on NSAIDs for AD treatment have shown ibuprofen may have a protective effect on AD, while other NSAIDs seemingly do not.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
