“…These score values show that the treatment of keratoconus videos are of high quality. In a similar study by Kalayci et al in which the keyword 'keratoplasty for patients' was used, the DISCERN, JAMA, GQS, and usefulness scores were reported as 42.11, 1.82, 2.35, and 2.01, respectively, and our results were slightly higher when compared to this study [21]. When we look at the results of the 26 videos uploaded by the physician and the data which was evaluated in the study of Kalayci et al, we see that the scores were similar to our study.…”

“…In our study, when we look at the sources that upload the videos, we see that 60.3% are uploaded by health professionals and 22.9% are uploaded by patients. Compared to the previous studies, the abundance of videos uploaded by healthcare professionals ensures that video content is of higher quality and reliability [20,21].…”

“…In our study, the number of videos uploaded by healthcare professionals were high. In most of the similar studies, we see that there are many videos uploaded by nonphysicians [16,20,21,27,28]. It is important to motivate and encourage health professionals to upload videos to video sharing platforms in order for the audience to reach better quality and accurate information.…”

Purpose To evaluate the reliability, quality and effectiveness of YouTube videos adressing treatment of keratoconus. Methods This is a retrospective, cross-sectional and register-based study. A YouTube search was performed using the keyword treatment of keratoconus and the first 100 videos that came out were included in the study. The numbers of views, likes, dislikes, comments, daily viewing rate (number of views per day), uploaded source (physicians, public or private institution, health channel or patients), country of origin, video type (patient experience, scholarly information), and describe treatment technique (contact lens, corneal crosslinking, intrastromal corneal ring, topography guided-photorefractive keratectomy, keratoplasty) were evaluated for all videos. They were also evaluated regarding their DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), global quality (GQS) and usefulness scores by two independent ophthalmologists. Results Of the top 100 videos, 83 videos met the criteria. The mean DISCERN, JAMA, GQS and usefulness score were 42.92 ± 18.14, 2.7 ± 0.73,3.07 ± 1.25 and 2.99 ± 1.44, respectively. Of the 83 videos, 35(42.2%) had been uploaded by physicians, 19(22.9%) by patients, 15(18.1%) by health channel and 14(16.9%) by institutions/private health institutions. In the correlation analysis, the four scoring systems showed a statistically significant and strong positive correlation with each other (p < 0.001). In addition, viewing rate DISCERN, GQS, usefulness scores, number of likes, dislikes and comments showed a statistically significant positive correlation. Conclusion The content of YouTube videos regarding treatment of keratoconus is of generally good quality and is educational for patients. Increasing the number of videos uploaded by healthcare professionals will increase the quality, reliability and informative features of the videos.

“…Some studies are stating that quality videos are less popular, some studies report that quality does not make a difference in user interactions, or some studies indicate a significant strong positive correlation between quality videos and user interactions. 9,[18][19][20][21][22][23] In this study, a significant positive correlation was found between video duration and user interactions parameters and all scoring systems. Although this positive correlation in dislike and daily dislike parameters was initially surprising, the positive relationship between the video quality and the number of views shows us that quality videos are watched more.…”

“…In the study in which Çetinkaya Yaprak and Erkan Pota 19 evaluated the quality of information on keratoconus treatment on YouTube, 73.5% of the videos were from the United States, 9.6% from India, and 7.2% from UK. In the study of Kalaycı et al, 20 in which they evaluated the keratoplasty videos on YouTube, 77.4% of the videos were from the United States, 11.9% were from India, 4.8% were from Greece, 3.6% were from Australia, and 1.2% were from the United Kingdom. These results show that the United States is by far the most important video origin, while India and England are at the top.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic features, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos addressing dry eye disease (DED).Methods:The term “dry eye disease” has been searched on YouTube. The first 500 videos that emerged using the defined search term were evaluated. Duplicated-split videos, videos shorter than 60 seconds, videos with a language other than English or videos with an unintelligible English accent, and videos unrelated to DED were excluded. Video uploaders, types, origins, durations, and viewer interactions of the videos were noted. DISCERN, the Global Quality Score, and the Video Quality Score (created by the authors) were used to evaluate the video quality.Results:Of the 500 videos, 262 videos were excluded, and the remaining 238 videos were evaluated. Videos were of moderate quality on all 3 scoring systems. The medical institute and academic society videos had the highest quality (P < 0.05). The quality of videos uploaded by physicians was significantly lower than medical institute and academic society videos and was higher than the others (P < 0.05). User interactions and video duration were weakly positively correlated with the video quality (P < 0.05).Conclusions:Among YouTube videos on DED, only a minority are of good or excellent quality. Videos uploaded by medical institutes or academic societies scored higher in quality than those uploaded by physicians, which, in turn, scored higher than those uploaded by all others. User interactions were weakly correlated with quality values, suggesting user interactions are not good indicators of the quality of YouTube videos on DED.
