“…When we look at the studies in the literature, it is seen that the number of patients or non-health professionals uploading videos with medical content to the internet is at a level that cannot be underestimated [ 13 ]. In our study, we concluded that the shares of individuals who are not health professionals remained at the level of 3%.…”

Objective Pediatric elbow fractures are children's most common fractures. People use the internet to get information about their illnesses and also to search for treatment options. Videos uploaded to Youtube do not go through the review process. The aim of our study is to determine the quality of videos related to child elbow fractures on Youtube. Material method The study was carried out with the data obtained from the video-sharing site www.youtube.com on 01.12.2022. Pediatric elbow fractures are written in the search engine section. Information about the number of views of the videos, upload date, view rate (number of views per day), number of comments, number of likes and dislikes, duration, whether they contain animation and the publishing source were evaluated. The videos are divided into 5 groups according to their sources: medical society/non-profit organization, physician, healthrelated website, university/academic, and patient/independent user/other. The quality of the videos was evaluated using the Global Quality Scale (GQS). All videos have been evaluated by 2 researchers. Results In the study, 50 videos were included. In the statistical evaluation, no significant correlation was found between the modified discern score and GQS found by both researchers, and the number of views, the rate of views, comments, likes and dislikes, video duration and VPI. In addition, when the GQS and modified discern scores were compared according to the source of the video, it was found that the patient/independent user/other group scores were lower numerically, but there was no statistically significant difference in comparison. Conclusion Most of the videos about child elbow fractures have been uploaded by healthcare professionals. Therefore, we concluded that the videos are quite informative in terms of accurate information and quality content.

“…The JAMA score could have been used to assess this element, but some studies have suggested that this score was also subjective. [21,22]. Lastly, YouTube's algorithm might skew the order of the top 30 videos, as the videos order changes following the viewing of previous videos.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on ectopic pregnancies for the public. Method We searched for the key terms “ectopic pregnancy”, “ectopic birth” and “extra uterine pregnancy” on YouTube. Each video that met the inclusion criteria was analyzed by two independent raters. Quantitative and qualitative metrics were recorded, and the videos were scored using the DISCERN instrument. Results A total of 37 videos met the inclusion criteria. The mean overall DISCERN score was 44.5 ± 15.6. Videos had significantly a higher DISCERN score if they contained explanations on anatomy (pvalue < 0.01), physiopathology (p-value < 0.01), diagnosis (p-value = < 0.01), treatments (p-value < 0.01), symptoms (p-value < 0.01), clear information (p-value < 0.01), animations (p-value < 0.01) and if it was a physician speaking (p-value < 0.01). Conclusion YouTube videos on ectopic pregnancy have been assessed to be only fairly reliable. We identified the five best ones using the validated DISCERN instrument. While ectopic pregnancy is not uncommon, YouTube videos should be improved to provide more accurate information for the public.

“…Secondly, the method of analyzing the “clarity of information” data was subjective. The JAMA score could have been used to assess this element, but some studies have suggested that this score was also subjective [ 25 , 26 ]. Lastly, YouTube’s algorithm might skew the order of the top 30 videos, as the videos order changes following the viewing of previous videos.…”
