Prescribing cholinesterase inhibitors in mild cognitive impairment—Observations from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

Abstract

Analyses of off‐label use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has produced mixed results. Post hoc analyses of observational cohorts, such as the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), have reported deleterious effects in AChEI‐treated subjects (AChEI+). Here, we used neuroimaging biomarkers to determine whether AChEI+ subjects had a greater rate of neurodegeneration than untreated (AChEI–) subjects while accounting for baseline differences.
