In this prospective, open cohort study the diagnostic value of tests based on neck anatomy in predicting difficult laryngoscopy was assessed.

The anatomic features of the neck measured were head extension, mouth opening, upper lip bite, Mallampati class, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, ratio of height to thyromental, neck circumference, thyrosternal distance, hyomental distance at full head extension (FHE) and at neutral position (NP), ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance and ratio of hyomental distance FHE to hyomental distance NP.
