To determine the frequency of road traffic accidents among individuals who start or resume driving after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to investigate their responsibility for these accidents.
Observational/retrospective study.
Sixty adults with severe TBI and their caregivers.
Return to Driving Questionnaire and Glasgow Outcome Scale.
Thirty of the 60 participants started to drive or resumed driving after TBI. Nineteen (63%) of them were involved in traffic accidents, with personal responsibility in 26 of 36 after return to driving. Participants caused a significantly higher number of accidents after TBI than before.
The ability to drive is frequently compromised after severe TBI. Specific rehabilitation of this complex activity should be a main goal of social reintegration programs in this population.
确定严重创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后开始或恢复驾驶的个体发生道路交通碰撞事故的频率，并调查他们对这些事故的责任。
观察性/回顾性研究。
60 名严重 TBI 患者及其照顾者。
驾驶恢复问卷和格拉斯哥结局量表。
60 名参与者中有 30 名在 TBI 后开始或恢复驾驶。其中 19 人（63%）发生了交通事故，在恢复驾驶后的 36 次中有 26 次负有个人责任。与 TBI 前相比，参与者在 TBI 后发生的事故数量明显更多。
严重 TBI 后驾驶能力经常受损。在该人群的社会再融入计划中，应将这种复杂活动的特定康复作为主要目标。
