Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The outcome of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Sternomental Distance Ratio (SMDR) in predicting difficult intubation. This will be assessed by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of SMDR compared to the Modified Cormack-Lehane (MCL) grading system. The study aims to determine an optimal cutoff value for SMDR that maximizes predictive performance. Timepoint: Measured preoperatively (for SMDR) and during intubation (for Cormack–Lehane grade) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the correlation of sternomental distance ratio with the number of intubation attempts and time taken for successful intubationTimepoint: During the intubation procedure until successful placement of the endotracheal tube | — |
