Comprehensive Driving Assessment to Enable Driving Resumption in Adults Recovering From Critical Illness: A Prospective Cohort Study

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to assess the driving ability of adult ICU survivors two months post-discharge and to evaluate factors influencing driving resumption over the following year. Results indicated that while 79% of participants were deemed capable of driving, only 45% had resumed driving by the end of the study, with many requiring adaptations or retraining. The comprehensive driving assessment was well-received, highlighting a significant gap between assessed capability and actual driving resumption.
