Driving performance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
摘要：
Patients with () present with impairments of their cognitive performance. It is still unknown whether influence driving abilities in patients with . The present study investigates driving performance in patients with and healthy controls. Driving simulation was performed in 17 patients with and 10 healthy controls. Patients with demonstrated significantly worse results in terms of accident frequency in the simulated driving situation. No correlations existed between the severity of disease, assessed from the polysomnographical findings (e.g., lung function, blood gas analysis, disturbance, nocturnal ventilation, and oxygen saturation), and driving performance. We conclude that impairments of driving performance in patients with cannot be predicted on the basis of the severity of the disease. The impairment of driving performance in the simulated driving situation in patients may have crucial consequences for driving licensing in these patients.
