Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The tri-modal model will demonstrate significantly higher AUC and improved sensitivity-specificity trade-off compared to traditional scores.Timepoint: At pre-anaesthetic evaluation We will check for the trimodal airway predictors. Then Immediate post-intubation we will confirm the difficult airway

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
