Development and validation of a regression model with nomogram for difficult video laryngoscopy in Chinese population: a prospective, single-center, and nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Airway management failure is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. Airway-related complications can be significantly reduced if difficult laryngoscopy is predicted with high accuracy. Currently, there are no large-sample studies on difficult airway assessments in Chinese populations. An airway assessment model based on the Chinese population is urgently needed to guide airway rescue strategy.

Methods

This prospective nested case-control study took place in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China. Information on 10,549 patients was collected, and 8,375 patients were enrolled, including 7,676 patients who underwent successful laryngoscopy and 699 patients who underwent difficult laryngoscopy. The baseline characteristics, medical history, a
