Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	airway evaluation for menagement in obese patient	preoperative airway measurements routinely performed (mallampati score, thyromental distance, neck circumference ..)for each patient will be evaluated	3 year
Primary	mallampati score	Class I : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces; uvula, anterior and the posterior pillars. Class II : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces and uvula. Class III : Visualization of soft palate and base of uvula. Class IV: Only hard palate is visible. Soft palate is not visible at all.	3 year
Primary	thyromental distance	TMD was measured as straight distance between thyroid notch and lower border of mental prominence.(cm)	3 year
Primary	neck circumference	Neck Circumference was measured in the midway of the neck, between mid-cervical spine and mid anterior neck, to within 1 mm, using non-stretchable plastic tape with the subjects standing upright.	3 year
