Associated factors and predictive value difficult airways, maxillofacial surgery study setup is under studied.
Objective: To determine the magnitude and associated factors of difficult airways and predictive value of airway examinations among adult patients who underwent maxillofacial surgery at public hospitals in Southern Ethiopia 2022.
