Evaluation of the predictive value of tongue height to oral cavity height ratio and anterior neck soft tissue measurements for difficult laryngoscopy in patients with unanticipated difficult airway: A prospective observational study
SED, STHMD, and TTOHR individually showed substantial diagnostic accuracy, with AUCs ranging from 0.92 to 0.95. Analysis of models combining parameters outperformed individual measurements, with statistically significant contributions from TTOHR and SHBD.
