TL;DR
Patients with glaucoma who have moderate or severe visual field impairment in the central 24 degrees radius field in the worse-functioning eye are at increased risk of involvement in a vehicle crash.

A 10‐item Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ), easily administered by any clinician in the office or in a hospital, has been designed, tested, standardized and validated.

Improved methods of screening and therapy for glaucoma are urgently needed, as it is the second leading cause of vision loss in the world.

The authors compared the performance of several such strategies for fitting multiplicative Poisson regression models to cohort data, finding that the change-in-estimate and equivalence-test-of-the-difference strategies performed best when the cut-point for deciding whether crude and adjusted estimates differed by an important amount was set to a low value.
Statistics in MedicineMultiple imputation in health‐are databases: An overview and some applications
1,572 Citations1991Donald B. Rubin, Nathaniel Schenker
This paper provides an overview of methods for creating and analysing multiply-imputed data sets, and illustrates the dramatic improvements possible when using multiple rather than single imputation.
The Journals of Gerontology Series AOlder Drivers and Cataract: Driving Habits and Crash Risk
574 Citations1999Cynthia Owsley, Beth T. Stalvey +2 more
Older drivers with cataract experience a restriction in their driving mobility and a decrease in their safety on the road, even after adjustments for the confounding effects of advanced age, impaired general health, mental status deficit, or depression.
Archives of OphthalmologyIncidence of Visual Field Loss in 20,000 Eyes and Its Relationship to Driving Performance
425 Citations1983Chris A. Johnson, John L. Keltner
Automated visual field screening of 10,000 volunteers showed the incidence of visual field loss was 3.5% for persons aged 16 to 60 years but was approximately 13.0% for those older than 65 years, and follow-up results suggested that the most common causes were glaucoma, retinal disorders, and cataracts.
Archives of OphthalmologyInfluence of Glaucomatous Visual Field Loss on Health-Related Quality of Life
397 Citations1997Peter Gutierrez
It is indicated that self-reports of vision-targeted health-related quality of life are sensitive to visual field loss and may be useful in tandem with the clinical examination to fully understand outcomes of treatment for glaucoma.
Archives of OphthalmologyVisual Risk Factors for Crash Involvement in Older Drivers With Cataract
378 Citations2001Cynthia Owsley
Severe contrast sensitivity impairment due to cataract elevates at-fault crash risk among older drivers, even when present in only 1 eye.
Ophthalmic EpidemiologyVision impairment, eye disease, and injurious motor vehicle crashes in the elderly
260 Citations1998Cynthia Owsley, Gerald McGwin +1 more
The main results were that restricted useful field of view and glaucoma were the only significant independent predictors of injurious crash involvement and impairment was the only variable independently associated with non-injurious crash involved.
JAMAImpact of Cataract Surgery on Motor Vehicle Crash Involvement by Older Adults
235 Citations2002Cynthia Owsley
Patients withCataract who underwent cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation had half the rate of crash involvement during the follow-up period compared with catarACT patients who did not undergo surgery, suggesting that cataracts may have a previously undocumented benefit for older driver safety, reducing subsequent crash rate.

The utility of a telephone version of the SPMSQ in patients evaluated in an outpatient geriatric assessment program was assessed and mean scores for both test versions decreased with dementia severity and correlated significantly.

153 Citations1998Patricia S. Hu, David A. Trumble +3 more
The results show that factors that place female drivers at greater crash risk are different from those influencing male drivers, and more risk factors were found to be significant in affecting older men's involvement in crashes than older women.
Accident Analysis & PreventionIdentifying crash involvement among older drivers: agreement between self-report and state records
152 Citations1998Gerald McGwin, Cynthia Owsley +1 more
The agreement between self-report and state record for identifying crash involved-older drivers was reported on and useful field of view impairment was associated with both self-reported and state-recorded crash involvement; however, the magnitude of the associations was disparate.
Age and AgeingMotor Vehicle Collision Injuries and Sensory Impairments of Older Drivers
129 Citations1994Lon W. McCloskey, Thomas D. Koepsell +2 more
It is concluded that mild reductions in static visual acuity have little effect on the risk of injury collisions for older drivers and further research is needed to verify a possible increase in risk among elderly drivers using hearing aids.
Ophthalmic and Physiological OpticsEffect of restriction of the binocular visual field on driving performance
122 Citations1992Joanne M. Wood, R J Troutbeck
Constriction of the binocular visual field to 40° or less significantly increased time taken to complete the course, reduced the ability to detect and correctly identify road signs, avoid obstacles and lo manoeuvre through limited spaces.

The present offering is an attempt to fill the need for a way to evaluate total ‘binocular’ peripheral acuity until a better method is devised.
