@entity1 @entity725 @entity227 @entity726 @entity601
Purpose. This study examined the association between the severity of @entity227 and the prevalence of motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) in subjects with @entity725 ( @entity725 ). Methods. This is a cross-sectional study. Japanese @entity1 who have had driver's licence between 40 and 85 years of age were screened for eligibility. @entity1 answered a questionnaire about MVCs experienced during the previous 5 years. Subjects with @entity725 were classified as having mild, moderate, or severe @entity227 . We evaluated associations between the severity of @entity725 and the prevalence of MVCs by logistic regression models. Results. The prevalence of MVCs was significantly associated with the severity of @entity725 categorized by worse eye @entity601 (control: 30/187 = 16.0%; mild @entity725 : 17/92 = 18.5%; moderate @entity725 : 14/60 = 23.3%; severe @entity725 : 14/47 = 29.8%; P = 0.025, Cochran-Armitage trend test). Compared to the control group, the adjusted OR for MVC prevalence in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe @entity725 in the worse eye was 1.07 (95% CI: 0.55 to 2.10), 1.44 (95% CI: 0.68 to 3.08), and 2.28 (95% CI: 1.07 to 4.88). Conclusions. There is a significant association between the severity of @entity726 and the prevalence of MVCs.
