The F.R.O.N.T. formula for pre-operative airway assessment and documentation
Background:
Prediction of difficult airway is one of the most important challenges before general
anesthesia. Although in recent decades different scoring systems have been for the
preoperative assessment of their sensitivity and specificity in predicting a difficult
airway remains moderate. Recently, the calculation of composite scores using different
formulae has been proposed as the most sensitive one. The aim of the present work was to
test the clinical usefulness of the FRONT score, a recently developed scoring system.
Methods:
This study was a multi-center, inter-observer, prospective and double-blind investigation
that included 976 patients from two university centers: 250 from the University of
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and 726 from the University of Debrecen, Hungary.
The preoperative evaluation of the patients was performed by a preoperative team of
anesthesiologists (team A) who evaluated and scored the expected difficulty of the
management of the airway. An intraoperative team of evaluators (team B) working
independently from team A, performed the actual instrumentation of the airway and scored the
actual findings. Both teams used the FRONT scoring system and worked independently from each
other to ensure blinded assessment. Statistical analysis of the preoperative and
intraoperative FRONT scores were performed post hoc.
