Fitness to drive of older drivers with cognitive impairments

Door Dafne Piersma, 26 februari 2018

1. Een gedeelte van de mensen met lichte dementie is rijgeschikt. 2. Dementie is niet één ziekte, maar een syndroom waaraan veel

verschillende ziektes ten grondslag liggen.

3. Een verkeersneuropsychologisch onderzoek in een klinische setting heeft voorspellende waarde voor rijgeschiktheid op de weg van mensen met de ziekte van Alzheimer.

4. Externe validatie van een predictiemodel is nodig voordat klinische toepassing aanbevolen kan worden.

5. Een predictiemodel dat de rijgeschiktheid kan voorspellen van mensen met de ziekte van Alzheimer is niet per definitie voorspellend voor de rijgeschiktheid van mensen met andere vormen van dementie. 6. Hoe ernstiger de cognitieve stoornis, hoe groter de kans dat de patiënt

stopt met autorijden (gelukkig maar).

7. Mobiel blijven is belangrijker dan doorgaan met autorijden. 8. Zonder inzet kom je nergens.

9. Ondanks dat de tijd oneindig is, heb ik niet oneindig de tijd. 10. Het is een begin.

Fitness to drive of older drivers with cognitive impairments

By Dafne Piersma, 26 February 2018 1. A portion of persons with mild dementia are fit to drive.

2. Dementia is not one disease, but a syndrome that encompasses various underlying diseases.

3. A traffic-related neuropsychological assessment in a clinical setting has predictive value for fitness to drive on the road for persons with Alzheimer’s disease.

4. External validation of a prediction model is required before clinical application can be recommended.

5. A model that is predictive of fitness to drive for persons with Alzheimer’s disease is not necessarily predictive of fitness to drive for persons with other types of dementia.

6. The more severe the cognitive impairments, the higher the chance that the patient ceases driving (which is a good thing).

7. Sustaining mobility is more important than continuing to drive. 8. Without effort you do not reach anything.

9. Despite the infinity of time, I do not have infinite time. 10. It’s a start.
