About this trial
This observational study aims to compare the predictive performance of the Modified El-Ganzouri Risk Index (MEGRI) incorporating anthropometric ratios with the original El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) for predicting difficult intubation in obese adult patients undergoing elective general anesthesia.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) of the Modified El-Ganzouri Risk Index for Predicting Difficult Intubation
The predictive performance of the Modified El-Ganzouri Risk Index (MEGRI) for difficult intubation will be evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the area under the curve (AUC).
Time frame
From preoperative airway assessment to completion of endotracheal intubation during surgery.Secondary outcomes
1
Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) of the Original El-Ganzouri Risk Index for Predicting Difficult Intubation
The predictive performance of the original El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) for difficult intubation will be evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the area under the curve (AUC).
Time frame
From preoperative airway assessment to completion of endotracheal intubation during surgery.Other outcomes
1
Intubation Difficulty Score (IDS)
The Intubation Difficulty Scale score will be recorded during tracheal intubation. An IDS score greater than 5 will indicate difficult intubation.
Time frame
During endotracheal intubation2
Sensitivity and Specificity of the Modified and Original El-Ganzouri Risk Indices for Predicting Difficult Intubation
Difficult laryngoscopy will be defined as a Cormack-Lehane grade III or IV laryngeal view.
