Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Standard deviation from the centre of the road
Measuring how far from the centre of the road the patient has been driving in the driving simulation
Number of nil responses
Measuring the number of times the patients doesn't react to the number "2" on the screen
Response time
Measuring the mean amount of response time from the number "2" appears on the screen until the patient reacts
Number of off-road events per hour
The number of times the car is off-road during the driving simulation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of patients with comorbidities
Patients with comorbidities will be registered
Lung function tests
Depression and anxiety
Using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Cognitive functions
Using the Mini Mental State Examination and the Clock Drawing Test

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Little is known about the causes and degree of cognitive dysfunction in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), especially their driving abilities. The purpose of the study is to examine the cognitive skills of patients with COPD by using a driving simulator and to examine correlations to factors that may predict cognitive dysfunction in these patients.
