Comparative efficacy and safety of therapy for the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia: a systemic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis

ConclusionPharmacological therapies should be the first choice for BPSD. Aripiprazole, haloperidol, quetiapine, and risperidone of antipsychotics showed the significant efficacy, while memantine, galantine, and donepezil may provide the modest effectiveness. The safety of all was thought to be acceptable.
