“…No Canadá, foi desenvolvido um programa em parceria com agências de transporte provinciais e federais, o Candrive, com o objetivo de elaborar um instrumento de triagem válido para identificar condutores que necessitam de avaliação abrangente e determinar a segurança na direção 23. No Brasil, os estudos identificados nesta revisão concentraram-se nos aspectos: 1-caracterização dos motoristas idosos 24 ; 2-avaliação da velocidade da marcha, força de preensão, cognição e fragilidade, associando-as com resultados de exames de aptidão física e mental realizados para habilitação veicular ou com número de infrações de trânsito em diferentes ambientes de direção 16,[25][26][27][28][29][30] ; e 3-busca de instrumentos para avaliação de condutores idosos 31 . Entretanto, não foram encontrados programas educativos, avaliativos e de reabilitação vinculados aos departamentos de trânsito para pessoas idosas, familiares e profissionais envolvidos no processo de (re)licenciamento.…”

Resumo Objetivo Mapear evidências científicas nacionais e internacionais sobre a condução veicular por pessoas idosas. Método Revisão de escopo baseada no manual proposto pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. Para as buscas foram acessadas as bases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO e a literatura cinzenta, por meio do Google Scholar. Resultados Dos 1.194 estudos encontrados, selecionaram-se 189 artigos submetidos aos critérios de elegibilidade. Os países precursores nas publicações foram Austrália e Estados Unidos, e o ápice das pesquisas ocorreu entre 2013 e 2014. Os participantes dos estudos eram pessoas idosas saudáveis, 63,49% (120); seguidos de 17,46% (33) com doença de Alzheimer; 11,11% (21) com Transtorno Neurocognitivo Leve; 6,88% (13) com doença de Parkinson; e 19,58% (37) com outras comorbidades. Diferentes tipos de intervenções foram identificadas nos estudos, destas, 94,02% (178) avaliaram a eficácia de instrumentos que mensuram a aptidão do motorista idoso. Conclusão Houve predominância de estudos na busca de instrumentos de avaliação que mensurassem a funcionalidade do condutor idoso. Esse fato ratifica a importância de avaliação padronizada, validada e economicamente viável que colabore na identificação do motorista em risco. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de intervenções para a prática da geriatria e gerontologia, por meio de ações para formação de equipe multidisciplinar especializada em condução veicular, de modo a adequar as diretrizes de licenciamento a fim de atender às especificidades dos condutores idosos, considerando os aspectos sociais, econômicos, políticos e educacionais, especialmente nos departamentos de trânsito brasileiro.

“…In Brazil, the studies identified in this review focused on the following aspects: 1-characterization of older drivers 24 ; 2-assessment of gait speed, grip strength, cognition, and frailty, associating them with results from physical and mental fitness exams conducted for vehicular licensing or with the number of traffic violations in different driving environments 16,[25][26][27][28][29][30] ; and 3-the search for instruments for evaluating older drivers 31 . However, educational, evaluative, and rehabilitative programs linked to traffic departments for older individuals, their families, and professionals involved in the (re)licensing process were not identified.…”

Objective To map national and international scientific evidence regarding driving by older adults. Method Scope review based on the manual proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were conducted in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO databases, and grey literature through Google Scholar. Results Out of 1,194 studies identified, 189 papers meeting eligibility criteria were selected. Pioneering countries in publications were Australia and the United States, with the peak of research occurring between 2013 and 2014. Study participants included healthy older adults (63.49%, 120), followed by those with Alzheimer's disease (17.46%, 33), Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (11.11%, 21), Parkinson's disease (6.88%, 13), and other comorbidities (19.58%, 37). Various interventions were identified, with 94.02% (178) assessing the effectiveness of instruments measuring the fitness of older drivers. Conclusion There was a prevalence of studies aimed at identifying assessment tools to measure the functionality of older drivers. This underscores the importance of standardized, validated, and economically viable assessments that contribute to identifying at-risk drivers. The need for interventions in geriatrics and gerontology was evident, emphasizing the necessity for actions to establish a specialized multidisciplinary team in vehicular driving. This approach seeks to align licensing guidelines with the specific needs of older drivers, taking into account social, economic, political, and educational aspects, particularly within the Brazilian traffic departments.

“…The external cause of injury, especially falls and struck by/against an object, nearly clustered in accordance to the severity, with falls linked to patients with system-level and neurological disorders and severe TBI, and being struck by/against an object linked to superficial injuries, overexertion, orthopaedic injuries, and mild TBI and concussions 67 , 68 . Notably, MVCs showed very few associations, all negative, the most significant of which, across clusters, were orthopaedic injuries, seizure disorders, and disorders of older people; these conditions linked to obstacles to, or lack of authorisation to operate a machinery 69 – 71 .…”

Decoding health status transitions of over 200 000 patients with traumatic brain injury from preceding injury to the injury event

For centuries, the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been centred on historical observation and analyses of personal, social, and environmental processes, which have been examined separately. Today, computation implementation and vast patient data repositories can enable a concurrent analysis of personal, social, and environmental processes, providing insight into changes in health status transitions over time. We applied computational and data visualization techniques to categorize decade-long health records of 235,003 patients with TBI in Canada, from preceding injury to the injury event itself. Our results highlighted that health status transition patterns in TBI emerged along with the projection of comorbidity where many disorders, social and environmental adversities preceding injury are reflected in external causes of injury and injury severity. The strongest associations between health status preceding TBI and health status at the injury event were between multiple body system pathology and advanced age-related brain pathology networks. The interwoven aspects of health status on a time continuum can influence post-injury trajectories and should be considered in TBI risk analysis to improve prevention, diagnosis, and care.
