The role of bedside ultrasound in nutritional monitoring: an observational study on the correlation between quadriceps muscle layer thickness and prealbumin in ICU patients
Sonographic evaluation of the quadriceps muscle correlates with serum prealbumin levels in critically ill patients and provides a feasible, non-invasive method for early nutritional assessment. Combined use of both tools may improve the detection of malnutrition, allowing timely intervention and potentially enhancing clinical outcomes.
