A meta-analysis by Kavirajan & Schneider
on the evidence for the efficacy and tolerability of CIs and
memantine in vascular dementia demonstrated “small benefits”
in cognition in mild to moderate stages. The analysis will need
to be used in conjunction with the review article by Bocti,
Black & Frank published as one of the CCCD background documents.
Efficacy and adverse effects of cholinesterase
