RH=relative hazard;

CI=confidence interval
Survival distribution function
Follow-up time (years)
Patients receiving ChEIs had a significant delay to nursing home placement; this effect was
significantly augmented with the addition on memantine
Memantine reduced the risk of nursing home placement by a factor of 3.4, relative to the group
taking ChEIs alone
Lopez et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2009;80;600-607 • Il est possible que la progression de la MA vers le stade sévère, tel que reflété par la mise en hébergement, soit retardé par la combinaison IChE et memantine en bonne partie à cause de leurs effets comportementaux • Les IChE et la memantine peuvent aider certains aspects des troubles du comportement, en particulier l’apathie pour les uns et l’agitation/agressivité pour l’autre
