          Abstract

          Recent studies have indicated an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) among people who consume proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), but the results of those studies are inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the correction risk of dementia and AD among PPI users. The literature search for relevant studies was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBase and ScienceDirect. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the relationship between the PPIs and risk of dementia and AD. Ten independent studies that involved 642305 participants were included in this meta-analysis. PPI users were unassociated with dementia (HR = 1.04, 95% CI 0.92–1.15; I 2 = 95.6%, p < 0.001) and AD (HR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.83–1.09; I 2 = 80.7%, p <0 .001). No evidence of publication bias was detected by Begg’s and Egger’s test. Sensitivity analyses showed no important differences in the estimates of effects. The current evidence indicates that PPI use does not increase dementia and AD risk. The remarkable heterogeneity among the studies warrants a further review of our findings.

          Advantages and Disadvantages of Long-term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use

          Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) potently inhibit gastric acid secretion and are widely used for treatment of acid-related diseases including gastroesophageal reflux disease and secondary prevention of aspirin/NSAID-induced ulcers. Although clinically important adverse effects of PPIs can occur, just as with other drugs, those are not frequently observed during or after administration. Thus, PPIs are regarded as relatively safe and considered to be clinically beneficial. Recently, PPIs have become frequently administered to patients with functional gastrointestinal diseases or primary prevention of drug-related gastroduodenal damage, even though their beneficial effects for those conditions have not been fully confirmed. PPIs tend to be given for conditions in which the necessity of the drug has not been clarified, thus otherwise rare adverse effects are presented as clinically relevant. Although several PPI-related adverse effects have been reported, their clinical relevance is not yet clear, since the evidence reported in those studies is not at a high enough level, as the majority are based on retrospective observational studies and the reported hazard ratios are low. It is important to administer PPIs only for patients who will gain a substantial clinical benefit and to continue to investigate their adverse effects with high quality prospective studies.

            Proton Pump Inhibitors and Risk of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

            Background/Objective Controversy exists over whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increase risk for dementia. This study examined the risk associated with PPIs on conversion to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia, and specifically Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Design Observational, longitudinal study. Setting Tertiary academic Alzheimer Disease research centers funded by the National Institute on Aging. Participants Research volunteers ≥ 50 years old with 2 to 6 annual visits. Eight hundred and eighty four were taking PPIs at every visit, 1,925 took PPIs intermittently, whereas 7,677 never reported taking PPIs. All had baseline normal cognition or MCI. Analytic Plan Multivariable Cox regression analyses evaluated the association between PPI use and annual conversion of baseline normal cognition into MCI or dementia, or annual conversion of baseline MCI into dementia, controlling for demographics, vascular comorbidities, mood, and anticholinergics and histamine-2 receptor antagonists. Results Continuous (Always vs. Never) PPI use was associated with a decreased risk of decline in cognitive function (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.66–0.93, p=.005) and decreased risk of conversion to MCI or dementia due to AD (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.69–0.98, p=.026). Intermittent use was also associated with decreased risk of decline in cognitive function (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.76–0.93), p=.001) and risk of conversion to MCI or dementia due to AD (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.74–0.91), p=.001). This reduced risk was found for persons with either normal cognition or MCI. Conclusion PPIs were not associated with greater risk of dementia or of AD, in contrast to recent reports. Study limitations include reliance on self-reported PPI use and the lack of dispensing data. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these results in order to guide empirically based clinical treatment recommendations.

              Patterns and predictors of proton pump inhibitor overuse among academic and non-academic hospitalists.

              In the hospital setting, several studies have reported proton pump inhibitor (PPI) overuse, a majority of which is continued after discharge. In addition to being expensive, PPIs are associated with an increased risk of infections, osteoporosis and serious drug interactions. We examined the trends and predictors of PPI guidelines non-compliance among academic and non-academic hospitalists in USA.
