TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Factors associated with poor compliance of patients with epilepsy driving restrictions JO - Neurology A1 - Polychronopoulos, P. A1 - Argyriou, Andreas A. A1 - Huliara, V. A1 - Sirrou, V. A1 - Gourzis, P. A1 - Chroni, E. SP - 869 EP - 871 VL - 67 IS - 5 N2 - The authors sought to identify factors associated with poor compliance with driving restrictions due to a diagnosis of epilepsy. They compared the demographic and clinical characteristics of 60 patients with epilepsy who, despite the authors' recommendation, continued to drive, with those of 60 age- and sex-matched epileptic patients who refrained from driving. The results showed that patients with epilepsy do not comply with driving restrictions, mainly for employment-related reasons.
