Comorbidities and Crash Involvement among Younger and Older Drivers: e94564

Previous studies identified comorbidities as predictors of older driver performance and driving pattern, while the direct impact of comorbidities on road crash risk in elderly drivers is still unknown. The present study is a cross-sectional aimed at investigating the association between levels of co...

description Previous studies identified comorbidities as predictors of older driver performance and driving pattern, while the direct impact of comorbidities on road crash risk in elderly drivers is still unknown. The present study is a cross-sectional aimed at investigating the association between levels of comorbidity and crash involvement in adult and elderly drivers. 327 drivers were stratified according to age range in two groups: elderly drivers (age greater than or equal to 70 years old, referred as older) and adult drivers (age

Driving information was obtained through a driving questionnaire. Distance traveled was categorized into low, medium and high on the basis of kilometers driven in a year. CIRS-illness severity (IS) and CIRS-comorbidity indices (CI) in all populations were calculated. Older drivers had a significantly higher crash involvements rate (p = .045) compared with the younger group based on the number of licensed drivers. Dividing comorbidity indices into tertiles among all licensed subjects, the number of current drivers significantly decreased (p&lt;.0001) with increasing level of comorbidity. The number of current drivers among older subjects significantly decreased with increasing comorbidity level (p = .026) while no difference among younger group was found (p = .462). Among younger drivers with increasing comorbidity level, the number of road accidents significantly increased (p = .048) and the logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidity level significantly associated with crash involvement independent of gender and driving exposure. Older subjects with high level of comorbidity are able to self-regulate driving while comorbidity burden represents a significant risk factor for crash involvements among younger drivers.</description><identifier>EISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0094564</identifier><language>eng</language><ispartof>PloS one, 2014-04, Vol.9 (4)</ispartof><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925,37013</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Papa, Michela</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Boccardi, Virginia</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Prestano, Raffaele</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Angellotti, Edith</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Desiderio, Manuela</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Marano, Luigi</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Rizzo, Maria Rosaria</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Paolisso, Giuseppe</creatorcontrib><title>Comorbidities and Crash Involvement among Younger and Older Drivers: e94564</title><title>PloS one</title><description>Previous studies identified comorbidities as predictors of older driver performance and driving pattern, while the direct impact of comorbidities on road crash risk in elderly drivers is still unknown.
