Do nutritional assessment scores have a relationship with transthyretin levels?

Background and aims: nutritional screening tools assess factors like weight loss, BMI, food intake, and disease severity to determine a patient's nutritional risk and needed care. Plasma transthyretin is a practical measurement used to assess nutritional evolution due to its rapid response to food intake. This study examines the relationship between nutritional scores, transthyretin protein levels, and the possibility of death.
