Anticipating difficult laryngoscopy is crucial for preoperative assessment, especially for patients with cervical spondylosis. Radiological assessment has become essential for improving airway management safety. This research introduces novel radiological indicators from lateral cervical X-ray in the extended head position proposed to enhance the accuracy of predicting difficult laryngoscopy. ⋯ LMHT and the novel combined predictive model incorporating LMAT are potentially valuable predictors for difficult laryngoscopy in patients with cervical spondylosis.
