Description:

Objective This study assesses relationships between the Framingham Cardiovascular Disease Risk (CVD risk) Score and prevalence of US Department of Transportation (DOT)-reportable crashes in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, after controlling for potential confounders. Methods Data were analyzed from CMV drivers (N=797) in a large cross-sectional study. CVD risk was calculated for each driver. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) between CVD risk and DOT-reportable crashes were calculated. Results Drivers in the two highest CVD risk groups had significantly higher likelihood of crash (OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.20-3.63 and OR=1.99, 95% CI=1.05-3.77, respectively) after adjusting for confounders. There was a significant trend of increasing prevalence of crashes with an increasing CVD risk score (p=0.0298). Conclusion Drivers with high CVD risk had a higher likelihood of a crash after controlling for confounders.
