Description
Assessing fitness to drive and predicting driving cessation remains a challenge for primary care physicians and there is a need to correctly evaluate predictive properties of neuropsychological screening tests. The objective of this study was to evaluate prospectively if the Trail Making Test (TMT), the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Useful Field of View (UFOV) and the Test Up and Go (TUG) can predict driving cessation for health reasons in drivers older than 70 years of age.
