“…Studies evaluating patient information videos professionally produced for specific medical conditions have shown positive effects with regard to a variety of issues including self-administration of treatments, anxiety reduction, and information recall. 18 , 19 , 20 In line with this, we found that YouTube videos produced by medical institutions were of higher quality than those produced by individual professionals or nonprofessionals. A similar finding was recently made for videos concerning larynx cancer.…”

Introduction Many patients seek information online including on social media. Aim To assess the quality of information regarding erectile dysfunction (ED) in YouTube videos. Methods We searched “erectile dysfunction” on YouTube in October 2019 and evaluated the first 100 videos in English sorted by relevance. Main Outcome Measure We recorded the user engagement, video producer, intended audience, and content. Videos containing medical information were evaluated using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) and the DISCERN quality criteria for consumer health information. The PEMAT evaluates the understandability and actionability of materials as a percentage. The DISCERN assesses the quality of information by a scale from 1 (serious or extensive shortcomings) to 5 (minimal shortcomings). Results The median number of total views was 22,450 (range 591–20,255,133) and the median number of views/month was 654 (range 9–723,398). 42 percent of the videos were posted by professional medical institutions, and 21% were posted by individual medical professionals. Most videos were aimed at the general public or patients suffering from ED. The median PEMAT understandability and actionability scores were both 100% (range 50–100% and 33–100%, respectively). The median DISCERN score was 2 (range 1-5) with 80.4% receiving a score of ≤3. Overall, 28% of the videos contained direct misinformation. DISCERN scores were higher in videos produced by medical institutions ( P = .0104), not selling specific products ( P = .007) and not promoting alternative medicine ( P = .0002). The number of subscribers was an independent predictor of views/month ( P < .0001). Conclusion Patients may be exposed to videos of poor quality when searching for information about ED on YouTube. The medical community needs to adapt a strategy to improve the quality of online medical information. Fode M, Nolsøe AB, Jacobsen FM, et al.

“…Patients’ tendency to search for information online and the quality of online information being variable, uncontrollable and difficult to control may lead to misleading information for patients and disrupt the relationship between the patient and physician. In addition, in studies evaluating informational videos for medical conditions, showing the positive effects in terms of self‐administration of treatments, reducing anxiety and remembering information emphasises the reflection of online information quality into the clinic (Ter Laak et al., 2020). Various scoring systems are known to be used to assess the reliability and quality of videos on the Internet (Adorisio et al., 2021; Loeb et al., 2021; Wong et al., 2017).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the content, reliability and quality of information regarding testicular cancer in YouTube videos. The search was performed by using term ‘testicular cancer’ on YouTube, and the first 168 videos were listed according to relevancy. Video features and source of upload were recorded. The quality, reliability and accuracy of the information were evaluated by two independent urologists using the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) score, the 5‐point modified DISCERN tool and the Global Quality Score (GQS). A total number of 152 videos were analysed. The most common source of upload was talk show programmes/TV programmes (25.7%), and majority of the content was about (24.3%) symptoms and diagnosis options. The mean JAMA score, modified DISCERN score and GQS were 1.59, 2.13 and 2.61 respectively. These scores were significantly higher in videos that were uploaded by physicians/nonprofit physicians/professional organisations/universities (p < 0.001). There is a positive correlation between the video length, DISCERN, JAMA scores and GQS. YouTube is a widely used source of information and advice about testicular cancer, but much of the content is of poor quality.
