| Publication Abstract Display | | Type: Poster | | Title: Driving performance among individuals with
asymptomatic HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. | | Authors: Braga D, Marcotte TD, Rosenthal T, Letendre S, Grant I, Heaton RK and the HNRP Group | | Date: 02-06-2013 | | Abstract:Individuals with ANI demonstrate significantly worse driving abilities
compared to cognitively normal HIV+ individuals, despite no selfreported
evidence that they are having difficulties with everyday
tasks
This expands upon recent data indicating individuals with ANI are
more likely to show indications of functional decline when assessed
using objective performance-based tests, rather than self-report
alone (Blackstone et al., 2011)
An ANI diagnosis may thus portend possible difficulties in EDF,
although the real-world, on-road driving implications are not clear at
this time
A diagnosis of ANI may warrant additional cognitive and EDF
monitoring for possible future difficulties. |
