abstract="OBJECTIVES: We performed a survey of medical records to reveal the cognitive deficits behind dangerous driving in patients with higher brain dysfunction. <br><br>METHODS: Thirty-four patients with higher brain dysfunction were included in this study. Patients' basic characteristics, neuropsychological test results, scores on two types of driving aptitude tests, and accident/near miss data from a driving simulator were extracted from medical records. We conducted χ(2) tests for independence between comprehensive driving aptitude scores and &quot;traffic accidents&quot; / &quot;being prohibited from driving as defined by the number of traffic accidents and near misses.&quot; Backward logistic regression analysis was carried out to assess correlations of &quot;traffic accidents&quot; and &quot;being prohibited from driving as defined by the number of traffic accidents and near misses&quot; with neuropsychological test scores. <br><br>RESULTS: No significant correlation was observed between the comprehensive driving aptitude score and &quot;traffic accidents&quot; / &quot;being prohibited from driving as defined by the number of traffic accidents and near misses.&quot; The score on the Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices test was the only factor identified as a significant predictor of &quot;being prohibited from driving as defined by the number of traffic accidents and near misses.&quot; CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that it is important to focus on the decline in problem-solving ability as a predictor of &quot;being prohibited from driving as defined by the number of traffic accidents and near misses.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
