背景/目的：本研究考察了驾驶法规知识是否能独立预测认知障碍老年人的道路驾驶表现。方法：对55名认知障碍老年人（77.9±6.4岁）进行回顾性观察分析，这些老年人完成了道路驾驶评估、20项驾驶法规知识测试和简短的认知测试。结果：逻辑回归发现，在知识测试中表现较差与建议戒烟的可能性显著相关，超出了重要的人口统计学和认知变量（p < 0.05）。结论：认知障碍患者的驾驶能力除了与其当前的认知功能水平外，还可能与其对常见驾驶规则的了解程度有关。
Background/Aims:The present study examined if knowledge of driving laws independently predicts on-the-road driving performance among cognitively impaired older adults.Methods:The current study consisted of retrospective observational analyses on 55 cognitively impaired older adults (77.9 ± 6.4 years) that completed an on-the-road driving evaluation, a 20-item knowledge test of driving laws, and a brief cognitive test battery.Results:Logistic regression found poorer performance on the knowledge test was significantly associated with greater likelihood of recommended driving cessation beyond important demographic and cognitive variables (p < 0.05).Conclusion:Cognitively impaired patients’ ability to drive may be related to their knowledge regarding common driving laws, in addition to their current level of cognitive functioning.
