Electroencephalographic compatibility with fitness to drive: A nationwide survey among Swiss neurologists.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Swiss guidelines for driving with epilepsy require that electroencephalogram (EEG) findings must be compatible with the fitness to drive (FTD) without specifying any criteria. This nationwide survey investigated how Swiss neurologists implement this requirement in clinical practice.

Methods

An online survey, including 19 EEG examples and statements about the compatibility of the EEG with FTD, was distributed to all members of the Swiss Society of Clinical Neurophysiology and all Swiss neurological clinics with residency programs. Descriptive statistics and Fleiss' Kappa for inter-rater agreement were performed.

Results

102 participants (37% female, 45% <45 years) completed the survey, with 15% primarily working in a specialized epileptology center (EPI),
