Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of MMPG in supine and sitting positions for prediction of DTI in acromegaly patients posted for pituitary adenoma surgery. Timepoint: PERIOPERATIVELY—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1 Diagnostic accuracy (Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative predictive values) of the MMPG evaluated in sitting and supine positions. 2 To compare the clinical characteristics like age, gender, weight, Thyromental distance of acromegalic patients with difficult laryngoscopy and intubation. 3 To compare the serum growth hormone levels/IGF-1 levels of acromegalic patients with difficult laryngoscopy and intubation. Timepoint: preoperatively and during intubation—
