This survey investigates the real-world impact of driving recommendations on the behavior of patients with syncope.
Survey data on syncope driving restrictions remain sparse; leaves open whether current advice alters patient behavior or safety.
Syncope is a common clinical condition, 1 which for obvious reasons constitutes a very drastic form of driving impairment. The legislative and expert panels in most countries have therefore issued laws or guidelines regarding driving and syncope. [2] 3][4] So far, however, little is known about the impact of driving recommendations on the behaviour of patients or the incidence of traffic crashes.
