Background This study aimed to assess the reliability, quality, and content of the information provided by YouTube™ videos on oral health during pregnancy to reveal the effectiveness of the videos for patients. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted by two experienced dental specialists. They initiated the study by searching for YouTube™ videos using the keyword 'pregnancy oral health'. The videos were then assessed based on various parameters, including origin, type, number of days since upload, duration, number of views, number of likes and dislikes, and number of comments. The specialists also calculated the interaction index and viewing rate. The reliability and quality of the videos were evaluated using the global quality scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) scales, while the content was assessed with the comprehensiveness tailor-made index. The data were analyzed with the Shapiro-Wilk, the Kruskal-Wallis, the post-hoc Bonferroni, and Fisher's exact tests. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results After reviewing initially 224 videos, 129 were included in the study. Health professionals were the publishers of most videos. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between content scores and video duration, number of comments, interaction index, and total DISCERN scores (p<0.05) (r=0.445, r=0.186, r=0.552, r=0.241, r=0.200, r=0.681, respectively). Statistically significant associations were found between GQS scores, video duration, number of comments, and total mDISCERN scores (p<0.05) (r=0.510, r=225, r=0.156, r=0.768, respectively). Statistically significant relationships were identified between the total content score, video source, and GQS (p<0.05). According to the total content score, 57.4% of the videos had a score of 2, 35.7% had a score of 1, and only 7% had a score of 0. Conclusions This study's findings underscore the significant variability in the scientific accuracy, content, and quality of health information on the Internet, particularly on YouTube™. It reveals that, while there are videos that provide rich content and high-quality information, there are also poor-quality and inadequate videos that may mislead patients. Health professionals should be aware of misinformation found on YouTube™ and ensure that patients always have access to accurate and reliable information.

“…[5,7] However, studies have shown that the content of YouTube videos about health is not high in terms of scientific quality and reliability. [9][10][11] The current study evaluated the quality, credibility, and engagement of YouTube videos about cancer and nutrition. The mean mDISCERN score was 1.96±1.13 (poor quality), JAMA score was 1.65±1.89 (fair-poor quality), GQS score was 2.25±0.95 (fair quality).…”

C ancer continues to be a leading cause of mortality and challenging public health problems worldwide. [1] In recent years, the complex interaction between cancer and nutrition has emerged as a prominent area of discussion, with a growing body of evidence highlighting the important role of dietary habits in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of various types of cancer. As researchers delve deeper into the complex molecular and metabolic mechanisms involved, understanding the nuanced relationship between dietary patterns, nutrient intake, and cancer risk has become a focal point in the multifaceted battle against this challenging disease. [2,3] Besides researchers, the public has a great interest in the relationship between cancer and nutrition. While healthy people are interested in this issue Objectives: YouTube, boasting an expansive number of users, is one of the primary sources of video-based educational content worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the content of YouTube videos about cancer and nutrition. Methods: In this cross-sectional register-based study, popular videos on YouTube about the following keywords were evaluated; "cancer and nutrition", "nutrition in cancer patients", "chemotherapy nutrition", "nutrition in chemotherapy", and "nutrition after chemotherapy". and reliability of video content were measured using the Global Quality Score (GQS), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) tool. Results: A total of 136 videos were analyzed in the study. The median duration was 157 (30-2960) seconds and the median number of views was 1232.5 (9-1238570). Median viewing rate was 1.06 (0-732). Among the video publishers, television (TV) health programs were the most (n=42, 31%). Regarding the video category, the most (n=121, 89%) popular was informative videos for patients. In most of the videos, the narrators were non-oncology clinicians (n=41, 30%) and dietitians (n=40, 29%). Mean GQS, JAMA, mDISCERN scores were 2.25±0.95 (fair-poor quality), 1.65±1.89 (fairpoor quality), and 1.96±1.13 (poor quality), respectively. A positive correlation was found between the 3 scoring points (p<0.001 for all pairwise comparisons). There was a negative correlation between video age, duration and all of the quality scores. There was a significant difference between video quality scores according to video categories, publishers and narrators (p<0.001 for each). Conclusion: Patients and individuals who are curious about relationship between nutrition and cancer to access accurate information, individuals should be directed to the right resources. Making oncologists more visible in this field by receiving professional support and can help higher quality videos reach the public.
