Brief Summary

The RETROUVE study will provide healthcare professionals, patients and their families informations on the rate of return to driving in people who have suffered a stroke, and will provide a better understanding of the various factors that explain this return. This bi-centric study is being conducted in 2 parts: a retrospective part involving an analysis of medical records, and a prospective part involving a telephone questionnaire. The main aim of this study is to assess the rate of return to driving in patients who have suffered a stroke, following an assessment of their fitness to drive. It will also aim to study the factors that explain a return to driving in post-stroke patients.

Conditions

Post-stroke

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Rate of return to driving after stroke

  Proportion of stroke patients assessed as fit to drive (favorable decision) by the multidisciplinary team and the registered physician, based on the 2019 driving assessments at Kerpape CMRRF or Henry Gabrielle Hospital.

  From date of stroke to date of driving assessment in 2019, assessed retrospectively.

• Demographic factors associated with return to driving

  Age, gender, and education level of stroke patients, analyzed according to the opinion of the multidisciplinary team and the registered physician (favorable, unfavorable, or favorable with restrictions).

  From date of stroke to date of driving assessment in 2019, assessed retrospectively.

• Clinical factors associated with return to driving

  Clinical characteristics of stroke patients (stroke type, lesion side and date, comorbidities) analyzed according to the opinion of the multidisciplinary team and the registered physician (favorable, unfavorable, or favorable with restrictions).

  From date of stroke to date of driving assessment in 2019, assessed retrospectively.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluate the maintenance of driving three years after a stroke and any changes in driving habits and/or practices, as well as driving habits and/or practices, as well as any new strategies brought about.

  From end of 2019 assessment to date of telephone questionnaire in 2022, assessed prospectively.
