Summary

The provided text is a correction notice published in *Neurology* (2010) regarding a specific error in the article “Driving under low-contrast visibility conditions in Parkinson disease” by E.Y. Uc et al., originally published in 2009. The document does not present new research, methods, or findings but rather rectifies a factual inaccuracy in the Results section of the prior study. The correction addresses the first sentence of the Results section, where numerical data regarding participant attrition due to simulator discomfort were incorrectly placed in the original publication. The authors clarify that the correct data indicate that nine of the 76 drivers with Parkinson disease (PD), representing 11.8% of the PD group, did not finish the driving simulation because of simulator discomfort. In the control group, 13 of the 64 drivers, representing 20.3%, did not finish the drive for the same reason. The statistical comparison between these two groups yielded a p-value of 0.17, indicating no statistically significant difference in the rate of simulator-induced attrition between individuals with PD and control drivers. The authors explicitly state their regret for this error. The correction ensures that the record accurately reflects the proportion of participants who discontinued the study protocol due to discomfort, a critical metric for interpreting the validity and generalizability of the driving simulation results. By correcting the placement of these numbers, the authors maintain the integrity of the reported statistical analysis, which suggests that simulator sickness was not a differential factor affecting the completion rates of the two groups. This notice serves to update the scientific record, ensuring that future citations and meta-analyses rely on the accurate figures regarding participant retention and adverse events during the simulation. The rest of the provided text includes unrelated correspondence regarding migraine and cardiovascular disease, which is not part of the correction itself and is therefore excluded from this summary.
