Article Synopsis
- ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with high rates of malnutrition, which can affect patient outcomes; this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle ultrasonography in identifying malnutrition and predicting prognosis in ALS patients.
- The study analyzed 37 ALS patients using various methods to assess nutritional status, including anthropometric measurements and electrical bioimpedance analysis, alongside muscle ultrasonography of the quadriceps to evaluate both muscle mass and quality.
- Results found that nearly 46% of patients were malnourished according to established criteria, with significant correlations between muscle mass measured by ultrasound and various markers of body composition, indicating the potential usefulness of muscle ultrasonography in ALS management.
