Real-world observations on neuroinflammation-related drug responses in Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundAlcohol use disorder (AUD), epilepsy, hemorrhagic stroke (HS), and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are all linked to neuroinflammation and associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Drug responses in cognitive health remain largely unknown in patients with neuroinflammation-related conditions.ObjectiveTo investigate the associations between drug exposure and AD incidence in patients with neuroinflammation-related conditions.MethodsWe derived covariate matched cohorts for individuals with and without neuroinflammation-related conditions (e.g., AUD, epilepsy, HS and TBI) from a US nationwide insurance claim data. We used covariate-adjusted Cox models to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) of drug exposure on AD. We identified neuroinflammation-specific drug responses
