“…The CDRS was blind to participants' group status (ie, MCI or normal control). Although the present study used only 1 driving evaluator, previous research using the same route and evaluation tool has reported acceptable interrater reliability for global ratings (weighted coefficient ¼ .72) using 2 raters, 29 one of whom conducted all the evaluations in this study. The drive was performed along a predetermined route that included (a) 2-and 4-lane roads with and without median strips and barriers, (b) highways and interstates, (c) intersections with and without traffic lights, and (d) stop and yield signs.…”

“…The driving skills of each licensed and currently driving participant were assessed in collaboration with the UAB Driving Assessment Clinic, using a standardized route and rating tool developed for research studies. 29 This assessment was performed during the study visit under clear weather conditions. Under rainy or inclement weather conditions the evaluation was postponed and conducted in fair weather within 2 weeks of the study visit.…”

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) involves subtle functional losses that may include decrements in driving skills. We compared 46 participants with MCI to 59 cognitively normal controls on a driving evaluation conducted by a driving rehabilitation specialist who was blinded to participants' MCI classification. Participants with MCI demonstrated significantly lower performance than controls on ratings of global and discrete driving maneuvers, but these differences were not at the level of frank impairments. Rather, performance was simply less than optimal, which to a lesser degree was also characteristic of a subset of the cognitively normal control group. The finding of significantly lower global driving ratings, coupled with the increased incidence of dementia among people with MCI and the known impact of dementia on driving safety, suggests the need for increased vigilance among clinicians, family members, and individuals with MCI for initially benign changes in driving that may become increasingly problematic over time.
