A 52-Week Study of the Efficacy of Rivastigmine in Patients with Mild to Moderately Severe Alzheimer’s Disease

Farlow, Martin, Anand, Ravi, Messina Jr, John, Hartman, Richard, Veach, Jeffrey·2000·European Neurology

Abstract

The efficacy of a centrally active cholinesterase inhibitor, rivastigmine tartrate (ENA 713; Exelon®), in patients with mild to moderately severe Alzheimer’s disease was evaluated in a 26-week open-label extension of a 26-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. By 52 weeks, patients originally treated with 6–12 mg/day rivastigmine had significantly better cognitive function than patients originally treated with placebo.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Patients who started an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor 6 months later showed more rapid cognitive decline than those who started the drug immediately.

    “Initiation of AChEI treatment as soon as possible after the diagnosis is preferred as patients who started the AChEI 6 months later showed more rapid cognitive decline than those who started the drug immediately.17”

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.
