In the USA, heel stick blood specimens from newborns spotted on to filter paper were also obtained as well as exposure to iodine-containing antiseptics during the birthing process. Urine specimens were collected from mothers of newborns and tested for iodine concentration. School children in the same areas were surveyed for thyroid size by palpation and ultrasonography, and urine specimens collected for iodine concentration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980002000113_sec05\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Between 141 and 243 cord blood specimens were collected from each study site.

Iodine-containing antiseptics were used during 98% of the births in the USA but not in Bangladesh or Guatemala.
