Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5631 0
"pass" result on the on road driving test (The driving results will be aggregated by principal component analysis to develop an overall Road Assessment Index. This method has been validated as a means of combining multiple independent variables into a composition score, representing overall driving performance of drivers. Pearson correlation and stepwise linear regression will be used to examine the relationships between clinical measures, off-road testing and the on-road driving ability of participants. Multivariate analysis will be employed to investigate the interacting effect of the different potentially contributing variables.
