RESUMEN
El Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of lntervention Effectiveness-Alzheimer Disease (CATIE-AD) es el primer estudio de efectividad que investiga por 36 semanas la respuesta a los antipsicóticos atípicos en los pacientes con Enfermedad de Alzheimer que se presentan con síntomas conductuales y psicológicos asociados a la demencia (SCPD). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los antipsicóticos atípicos y placebo en las medidas de efectividad que también incluyeron un análisis costo-beneficio. Este artículo no solo examina este importante estudio sino que resume la compleja relación de los antipsicóticos y los SCPD a lo largo de los últimos años.
