    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of urinary iodine excretion (UIE) estimated by urinary iodine/creatinine ratio (UI/Cr) from spot urines in Chinese school-age children. DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey was performed in which twice-repeated collections of 24-h urine, and spot urine samples were obtained within 1 month. MEASUREMENTS: Urinary iodine concentration (UIC), urinary creatinine concentration (UCr), urine volume (Uvol) of spot and 24-h urine samples were measured. Measured 24-h UIE was calculated from 24-h UIC multiplied by 24-h Uvol, while the estimated 24-h UIE was calculated from spot UI/Cr multiplied by 24-h urinary creatinine excretion (24-h UCrE). RESULTS: No significant difference was observed in 24-h Uvol between two repeated collections (P = 0·70), while spot UIC, 24-h UIC, spot UI/Cr and measured 24-h UIE were significantly different (P < 0·05). The estimated 24-h UIE was 247 (136-431) μg/day in the first collection, lower than the measured 24-h UIE of 329 (183-536) μg/day (P < 0·001), while no significant difference was observed (P = 0·30) in the second sampling as the estimated 24-h UIE was 355 (168-624) μg/day and the measured 24-h UIE 350 (181-615) μg/day. The spot UIC (r = 0·57, P < 0·001), spot UI/Cr (r = 0·63, P < 0·001) and the estimated 24-h UIE (r = 0·83, P < 0·001) were strongly correlated with the measured 24-h UIE in the first collection. Likewise, in the second sampling, spot UIC (r = 0·60, P < 0·001), spot UI/Cr (r = 0·72, P < 0·001) and the estimated 24-h UIE (r = 0·89, P < 0·001) were also correlated with measured 24-h UIE. The Bland-Altman results indicated 95% of subjects were expected to locate within the limits of agreement (LOA), but showed an underestimation of the urinary iodine excretion by the estimated 24-h UIE. In addition, moderate-to-good agreement was found for the estimated and measured 24-h UIE, with kappa values of 0·55 and 0·66. CONCLUSIONS: Estimated 24-h UIE by UI/Cr ratio from spot urine could represent a valid and reliable alternative for measured 24-h UIE in estimating iodine excretion in children.
