There is a growing body of research on Alzheimer's disease and driving, but much less is known about less common dementias, such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The purpose of this study was to review the empirical literature about FTD and driving. A study was included if it met the following criteria: published from 1992 to 2013 in English, research involving humans, and included both FTD and driving data. We searched the following electronic databases: EBSCOhost, PubMed, Google Scholar, Proquest, Web of Knowledge, and Publishing Connect. A total of 367 abstracts were reviewed; however, only 4 articles satisfied the inclusion criteria. Results showed that drivers with FTD had more problems than control groups. Specific driving issues were related to antisocial behaviors common among people with FTD (eg, hit and run crashes, failure to stop at red lights, speeding infractions, and failure to recognize pedestrians at intersections). More research on FTD and driving is needed.
关于阿尔茨海默病与驾驶的研究越来越多,但对于诸如额颞叶痴呆(FTD)等不太常见的痴呆症却知之甚少。本研究的目的是回顾关于FTD与驾驶的实证文献。若一项研究符合以下标准则被纳入:1992年至2013年以英文发表、涉及人类的研究,且包含FTD和驾驶数据。我们检索了以下电子数据库:EBSCOhost、PubMed、谷歌学术、Proquest、Web of Knowledge和Publishing Connect。共审查了367篇摘要;然而,只有4篇文章符合纳入标准。结果显示,患有FTD的驾驶员比对照组存在更多问题。具体的驾驶问题与FTD患者中常见的反社会行为有关(例如,肇事逃逸事故、闯红灯、超速违规以及在十字路口未能识别行人)。需要对FTD与驾驶进行更多研究。
