Dysken MW et al. - AAGP members significantly reduced prescribing Vitamin E to patients with Alzheimer disease after 2005. The two reports are discussed with an emphasis on their methodological limitations and the potential for additional information on Vitamin E side effects from ongoing research.
Methods- A three-item questionnaire was mailed to all AAGP members who had prescription privileges to assess changes in prescribing Vitamin E after January, 2005.
- A total of 572 completed surveys were returned for a response rate of 35%.
- Nearly 60% of respondents reported a change over the 2 years that followed the 2005 reports.
- The greatest change was in the group not prescribing Vitamin E, which increased from 6.6% before 2005 to 60.6% afterward.
