Objective To examine the relationship between schizophrenia, antipsychotic medication adherence and driver responsibility for motor vehicle crash.Design Retrospective observational cohort study using 20 years of population-based administrative health and driving data.Setting British Columbia, Canada.Participants Licensed drivers who were involved in a police-attended motor vehicle crash in British Columbia over a 17-year study interval (2000–16).Exposures Incident schizophrenia was identified using hospitalisation and physician services data. Antipsychotic adherence was estimated using prescription fill data to calculate the ‘medication possession ratio’ (MPR) in the 30 days prior to crash.Primary outcome measures We deemed drivers ‘responsible’ or ‘non-responsible’ for their crash by applying a validated scoring tool to police-reported crash data. We used logistic regression to evaluate the association between crash responsibility and exposures of interest.Results Our cohort included 808 432 drivers involved in a police-attended crash and for whom crash responsibility could be established. In total, 1689 of the 2551 drivers with schizophrenia and 432 430 of the 805 881 drivers without schizophrenia were deemed responsible for their crash, corresponding to a significant association between schizophrenia and crash responsibility (66.2% vs 53.7%; adjusted OR (aOR), 1.67; 95% CI, 1.53 to 1.82; p |
