Reliability of preoperative descriptive airway assessment tests in prediction of the Cormack-Lehane score: Methodological issues

I was interested to read the paper by Selvi O and colleagues published in J Clin Anesth 2017 Feb. The aim of the authors was to compare predictive value of thyromental height measurement test (TMH), which has been recently suggested, modified Mallampati test (MMT), upper lip bite test (ULBT), and thyromental distance measurement test (TMD) in difficult laryngoscopy (Cormack and Lehane [C-L] scores 3 and 4). Final C-L scores were compared with intubation difficulty scale (IDS) in terms of predicting difficult intubation.
