In 5 of the 7 studies, there was no benefit for the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in either the prevention or the management of delirium. In one study, there was a trend toward benefit for the active drug group on the incidence of delirium and the length of hospital stay, but both outcomes did not attain statistical significance. One study found a longer duration of delirium and a longer length of hospital stay in the active drug group when compared to the placebo group. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitors were well tolerated in 4 of the 7 studies. In 1 study, the mortality rate was found to be almost 3 times higher in the group receiving haloperidol and rivastigmine when compared to the group receiving haloperidol and placebo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence does not suggest efficacy of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for the prevention or management of delirium in older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1533317515619034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,9]],"date-time":"2015-12-09T08:42:12Z","timestamp":1449650532000},"page":"305-310","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors for Delirium in Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Rajesh R.","family":"Tampi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, MetroHealth, Cleveland, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deena J.","family":"Tampi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ambreen K.","family":"Ghori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, MetroHealth, Cleveland, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1533317515619034","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association.
