Driving Rehabilitation and Innovation for Evaluating Risk in Post-Intensive Care Unit Survivors
United States24 participantsStarted 2023-09-13
Plain-language summary
Older adults are at risk for ICU-acquired cognitive decline discernible from clinical, biological, and imaging- related changes in the brain following delirium and critical illness. Our Driving Rehabilitation and Innovation for Evaluating Risk in Post Intensive Care Unit Survivors (DRIVE-PICS) application seeks to implement in-vehicle kinematic driving data with neurocognitive assessments for essential formative work to develop data-based insights into driving behaviors. DRIVE-PICS is designed to contribute to a critical gap in health promotion to develop an evidence-based, in-vehicle driving assessment system to provide actionable driving safety data and rehabilitation strategies tailored to older ICU survivors, the participants' care partners, and clinicians.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is specifically for people who survived a stay in the ICU — does my experience with critical illness and any delirium I had during that stay make this trial potentially relevant to discuss for my situation?
2Since the trial is measuring total driving time, is my doctor concerned that my recovery from critical illness might be affecting my ability to drive safely, and should that be something we evaluate regardless of this trial?
3The trial is listed as 'active but no longer recruiting' — does that mean there's no way to get involved, or are there similar driving rehabilitation studies my doctor knows about that I could still consider?
4Given that delirium during a critical illness can affect thinking, memory, and reaction time even after hospital discharge, what kind of driving assessment or rehabilitation does my doctor recommend as part of my overall recovery plan?
5Are there standard clinical evaluations for driving readiness after an ICU stay that my doctor can refer me to, in case this trial is no longer an option for me?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
