Studies using 24 h urine collections need to incorporate ways to validate the completeness of the urine samples. Models to predict urinary creatinine excretion (UCE) have been developed for this purpose; however, information on their usefulness to identify incomplete urine collections is limited. We aimed to develop a model for predicting UCE and to assess the performance of a creatinine index using para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as a reference. Data were taken from the European Food Consumption Validation study comprising two nonconsecutive 24 h urine collections from 600 subjects in five European countries. Data from one collection were used to build a multiple linear regression model to predict UCE, and data from the other collection were used for performance testing of a creatinine index-based strategy to identify incomplete collections. Multiple linear regression (n 458) of UCE showed a significant positive association for body weight (beta = 0.07), the interaction term sex x weight (beta = 0.09, reference women) and protein intake (beta = 0.02). A significant negative association was found for age (beta = -0.09) and sex (beta= -3.14, reference women). An index of observed-to-predicted creatinine resulted in a sensitivity to identify incomplete collections of 0.06 (95% CI 0.01, 0.20) and 0.11 (95% CI 0.03, 0.22) in men and women, respectively. Specificity was 0.97 (95% CI 0.97, 0.98) in men and 0.98 (95% CI 0.98, 0.99) in women. The present study shows that UCE can be predicted from weight, age and sex. However, the results revealed that a creatinine index based on these predictions is not sufficiently sensitive to exclude incomplete 24 h urine collections.
