Gender, age, body mass index(BMI), neck circumference (NC), modified Mallampati's index(MMI), inter-incisor gap(IIG), hyoid-mental distance (HMD), thyroid-mental distance (TMD), sterno-mental distance (SMD), and flexion-extension angle were eventually identified as highly correlated factors for DLE.PMID:38659242 | DOI:10.21053/ceo.2023.00023
