TO THE EDITOR: In the July 2007 issue of the Journal, Richard SE Keefe, Ph. D., et al.(1) reported on the effects of olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone on neurocognitive function. Dr. Keefe et al. concluded that all three drugs produced significant improvements in neurocognition. The authors noted that cognitive improvement was modest, but they suggested clinical importance based on correlations of 0.14 and 0.18, with a component of the Quality of Life Scale, accounting for only 2%–3% of the variance. Even this small effect cannot be attributed to drug efficacy. The study design did not include a comparison group. The drugs studied had a similar effect on cognition, but we do not know whether the effect was better, worse, or the same as placebo or treatment with a first-generation antipsychotic. In a study conducted by Keefe et al.(2), published in Archives of General Psychiatry, olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone failed to separate from perphenazine, a “typical” antipsychotic, using cognition data from the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) study. If the improvement observed is real, the following other causal explanations cannot be excluded: 1) The natural course of illness may lead to cognitive improvement when the baseline assessment is near the time of
