Baseline | First week | First month | Second month | Third month | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
24U [median (range)] | 21.8 (7.6–58) | 800 (112–1000) | 19 (7.4–49.5) | 17.5 (7.8–51) | 19.2 (7.0–50) |
sU [median (range)] | 26 (6.9–40.5) | 800 (61–1000) | 20 (5.7–35) | 21.7 (13.5–56.5) | 21 (10–44) |
ρ† (p value) | 0.70 (p: 0.0005) | 0.50 (p: 0.01) | 0.73 (p: 0.0003) | 0.74 (p: 0.0003) | 0.42 (p: 0.03) |
24U and sU values are in μg/dL. ρ† (Spearman's rho) represents the correlation coefficient between 24U and sU results.
24U, 24-hour urinary iodide sample; sU, spot urinary iodide sample.
