In recent decades, the prevalence of thyroid nodules (TNs) has steadily increased in pregnant women. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate associations between TNs and iodine intake in pregnant women. From March 2016 to May 2017, serum and spot urine samples, as well as demographic data and medical history, were collected from 2353 pregnant women. Urine iodine concentration (UIC) and creatinine (Cr) level were determined in spot urine samples; serum thyroid hormones and thyroid autoantibodies were also determined. We examined the hypothesis that excess iodine intake influences incidence of TNs. Herein, TNs were diagnosed by ultrasonography, whereas demographic data and medical history were collected by questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios and their corresponding confidence intervals for TN risk factors. Generalized linear mixed model was used to assess the random effects of the regions. The UIC and UIC to creatinine ratio (I/Cr ratio) were significantly higher in pregnant women with TNs (168 and 190 mu g/L, respectively, for UIC [P
