ResumoOur purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of a iodine prophylaxis campaign in pregnant women.Eighty-one pregnant and 29 fertile women were enrolled. The urine iodine concentration was determined.The median urine concentration of iodine was similar in both groups [pregnant women: 113.3 g/l; non-pregnant women: 99.1 g/l]. 67.9% pregnant women and 51.7% non-pregnant women had urine concentrations of iodine lower than the normal range.Our results suggest that the ongoing iodine prophylaxis campaign in our community is not effective in the adult population.
