Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia: How Long Does Every Behavior Last, and Are Particular Behaviors Associated With PRN Antipsychotic Agent Use?
Philippe Voyer, Jane McCusker, Martin G. Cole, Johanne Monette, Nathalie Champoux, Antonio Ciampi, Eric Belzile, Hélène Richard. Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 2015-01
Topic: Drug trials: efficacy and safety
Read the article, “Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia: How Long Does Every Behavior Last, and Are Particular Behaviors Associated With PRN Antipsychotic Agent Use?” found on pages 22–37, carefully noting any tables and other illustrative materials that are included to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the content. Identify which BPSD are associated with as-needed antipsychotic drug use. A secondary explorative objective was to identify which BPSD are associated with as-needed (PRN) antipsychotic drug use. Results showed that BPSD lasted for an average of 2.3 months, and the BPSD saying things that do not make sense had the longest duration, with 3.6 months. PRN antipsychotic drug administration was associated with nocturnal BPSD and requesting help unnecessarily. Within 3 months, most BPSD were resolved by usual care; use of PRN antipsychotic medication was not associated with behaviors that put the residents or their caregivers at risk.

How this study scored 52/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multicenter collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 29 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 52 out of 100.
