Comparison of Wilson’s Score and Intubation Prediction Score in Predicting Difficult Airway: A Prospective Single‑Blind Observational Study
Keywords:
Difficult airway; Wilson score; Intubation prediction score; Intubation difficulty scale; Preoperative airway assessment.Abstract
Background: Anticipation of a difficult airway remains central to safe anaesthesia practice.Multiple bedside scoring systems exist; however, their diagnostic accuracy varies across populations and settings. Aim: To compare the diagnostic performance of Wilson’s Score and the Intubation Prediction Score (IPS) in predicting difficult airway, using Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) as the reference standard.
