BACKGROUND: Assessing driving aptitude in @entity303 @entity1 is critically important for both @entity1 and public safety. However, there have been only a few reports on the driving behaviours and accident risk of @entity1 with @entity303 , especially @entity747 ( @entity747 ). Therefore, we compared the characteristics of driving behaviours in @entity1 with @entity747 and those with @entity195 ( @entity195 ). METHODS: The subjects were 28 @entity747 and 67 @entity195 @entity1 who visited the Department of Psychiatry, Kochi Medical School Hospital. We conducted semi-structured interviews with their families and caregivers about traffic accident history and changes in @entity1 driving behaviours after @entity303 onset and then compared the findings between the two groups. RESULTS: Overall changes in driving behaviours were reported in 89% (25/28) and 76% (51/67) of the @entity747 and @entity195 @entity1 , respectively (P = 0.17). In the @entity747 group, difficulty in judging inter-vehicle distances, ignoring road signs and traffic signals, and distraction were reported in 50% (14/28), 61% (17/28), and 50% (14/28) of @entity1 , respectively, and 75% (21/28) @entity1 had caused a traffic accident after @entity303 onset. The risk of causing an accident was higher in the @entity747 group than in the @entity195 group (odds ratio = 10.4, 95% confidence interval = 3.7-29.1). In addition, the mean duration between @entity303 onset and a traffic accident was 1.35 years in the @entity747 group compared with 3.0 years in the @entity195 group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with @entity747 were more likely to show dangerous driving behaviours than those with @entity195 , and the risk of causing a traffic accident may be higher in @entity1 with @entity747 from an @entity66 stage.
