Key Points

  • Cognitive decline was significantly affected by sex and medication use, particularly in dementia patients.
  • Antidementia medications were found to mitigate cognitive decline effectively during the analysis.
  • Only non-aspirin antiplatelet agents showed a link to increased cognitive decline in men diagnosed with dementia.
  • These findings highlight the importance of personalized treatment approaches for managing dementia effectively.

Abstract

In this large real-world cohort, sex and medication use were key determinants of cognitive decline in dementia. Antidementia medications mitigated decline. Notably, only non-aspirin antiplatelet agents, but not aspirin, were associated with greater cognitive decline in men., underscoring the need for personalized treatment approaches.
