摘      要：To the Editor:In a prospective,self-controlled,assessorblinded,observational study,Wang et al[1].evaluated the associations of ultrasound-measured indicators with difficult laryngoscopy.By the multivariate logistic regression analyses and the receiving operator characteristic(ROC)curve analysis,they concluded that the magnitude of the angle between the epiglottis and glottis under ultrasound was highly associated with difficult laryngoscopy.Furthermore,difficult laryngoscopy might occur when this angle was less than 50°.
