“…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.…”

“…9,18,22,23 However, there are also studies reporting YouTube videos of moderate or good quality. 19,20,24 In this study, all videos were of moderate quality in all 3 scoring systems. Compared with many studies stating that the educational quality of YouTube videos is low, one of the reasons for the moderate quality of the videos in this study is that 2 doctors, who have 572,000 and 17,000 followers, use social media professionally and effectively to produce quite a lot quality content and In this study, the videos uploaded by the medical institute and the academic society were of the highest quality, with no difference between them.…”

“…The United States is followed by the United Kingdom in the second place, India in the third place, and Canada in the fourth place. 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 are also supported by previous studies. 19,24 In addition, Kalaycı et al 20 compared the videos uploaded by physicians with those of nonphysicians, and they found that although there was no significant difference in the DISCERN scoring system, videos uploaded by physicians had significantly higher quality in the other 3 scoring systems they evaluated. Bae and Baxter 23 reported that videos from medical organizations such as the National Health Service tended to be more useful than videos from other sources, including medical professionals.…”

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.

“…The median DISCERN score was 32.8 ± 10, the median JAMA score was 1.3 ± 0.5, and the median GQS score was 3.1 ± 1.1 in a study evaluating YouTube videos on ptosis surgery, and it was emphasized that the videos were not a credible educational information source [ 15 , 16 ]. YouTube videos about keratoconus, on the other hand, were found to be educational and instructive, with a mean DISCERN score of 42.92 ± 18.14, a mean JAMA score of 2.7±0.72, and a mean GQS score of 3.07±1.25 [ 17 ]. Studies indicate that YouTube videos with surgical content have a low educational value, and our data support this conclusion.…”

Introduction Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) causes excessive eye tearing or mucoid discharge. Twenty percent of one-year-olds globally have CNLDO. There are many sources that offer information to parents. This study evaluates the quality and accuracy of CNLDO-related YouTube videos. Methods The first 100 videos that appeared after typing "congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction" in the YouTube search engine were evaluated. These videos were also analyzed and scored using the DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality Scoring (GQS) systems. Results Forty videos met the inclusion criteria. The mean DISCERN score was 47.3 ± 9.15, JAMA was 1.72 ± 0.87, and GQS was 3.1 ± 0.81. The duration of the videos uploaded by the non-physician group was significantly longer (p = 0.04). In addition, the JAMA score of the videos uploaded by the physician group was significantly higher than that of the other group (p = 0.03). Theoretical videos were longer than surgical videos (p = 0.02). DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores were statistically higher in the theoretical video group (p = 0.002, p = 0.04, and p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion According to our research, the quality of YouTube videos about congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is average. This information source can be improved by making videos with more detailed information about the disease and theoretical information, as well as by having health professionals look over the content that has been uploaded.

Background and AimThe aim of this study was to assess the quality and content of videos on Douyin and TikTok for their educational role on early screening of rectal cancer (RC).MethodsWe conducted a search for videos related to RC on the Douyin and TikTok applications on 20 April 2023. The search was conducted in Chinese on Douyin and in English and Japanese on TikTok. A sample of the first 100 videos recommended by the software was selected for each language group. The content of the videos was evaluated using a content scorecard, while the quality of the videos was assessed using DISCERN. Subsequently, we conducted two partial correlations: one between the DISCERN score and the number of likes, and another between the video content score and the number of likes.ResultsThis study encompassed a total of 89 Chinese, 54 English, and 51 Japanese videos. After selection, 78 Chinese, 38 English, and 25 Japanese videos were identified to contain content related to early screening for RC, prompting further quality assessment. Notably, videos in the Chinese language showed the highest DISCERN score (P < 0.05). In terms of partial correlation analysis, it was observed that both the content score and DISCERN score did not show a significant correlation with the number of likes (P > 0.05).ConclusionIn terms of quality score and content score, the Chinese videos on Douyin show superiority over the English and Japanese videos on TikTok. However, there is potential for improving the overall appeal of the Chinese videos.
