Variable	Interventions	Excellent intubating conditions, n (%)	RR	95% CI	P value
Groups	SS group (n = 113)	56 (49)	1.04	0.91–1.48	0.548
Groups	DR group (n = 115)	53 (46)	1
Gender	Male (n = 114)	43 (38)	1

Multivariate analysis adjusted for gender and unequal number of patients between the groups
Abbreviations: SS, saline (pretreatment) suxamethonium; DR, dexmedetomidine (pretreatment) rocuronium; adjusted RR, relative risk for intervention and gender; CI, confidence interval
*P value < 0 .05 is considered significant
