“…Accessibility of websites was 92 %, which is in line with published data about aortic aneurysm treatment [16]. Web accessibility for people with disabilities is protected through the technology procurement process in the USA [17], and therefore, results are encouraging that most PCa websites fulfill this criterion.…”

Many patients diagnosed with cancer search for health information on the Web. We aimed to assess the quality and reliability of online health information on prostate cancer. Google, Yahoo, and Bing were searched for the term "prostate cancer." After selecting the most frequented websites, quality was measured by DISCERN score, JAMA benchmark criteria, and presence of HONcode certification. Popularity was assessed by Alexa tool, while accessibility, usability, and reliability were investigated by LIDA tool. Readability was analyzed by Flesch-Kincaid Reading Grade Level and Automated Readability Index. All 13 selected websites were rated as being of high quality according to the DISCERN instrument (76.5 ± 2.6 out of 80 points). JAMA benchmark criteria were fulfilled by 87 % of websites, whereas only 37 % were certified by the HONcode. Median Alexa Traffic Rank was 2718 ranging from 7 to 679,038. Websites received 2.3 ± 0.5 daily pageviews per visitor and users spent an average of 2 min 58 s ± 39 sec on the website. Accessibility (92 ± 5 %) and usability (92 ± 3 %) scores were high and reliability (88 ± 8 %) moderate according to the LIDA tool. Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level was 7.9 ± 2.2, and Automated Readability Index was 7.5 ± 2.4, rating the websites as fairly difficult to read. In conclusion, quality, accessibility, and usability of websites on prostate cancer provided a high rating in the current analysis. These findings are encouraging in view of the growing frequency of patients' access of health information online.

“…40 In our study, we have used measurements and criteria similar to those used in other articles that assess the quality and readability of health-related websites. 26,[36][37][38] The LIDA tool has already been used for assessing websites in Spanish, 39 showing shortcomings in accessibility, usability and reliability. In our study, the global score of the LIDA tool shows intermediate-quality websites (Tables 3 and 4).…”

“…Our results coincide with other studies about the quality of websites, with higher results in accessibility and lower results in reliability. 39,64 The Flesch index is widely used to measure the readability of websites and documents in English. 26,[36][37][38] We have used its most recent adaptation to Spanish, the Flesch-Szigriszt index, which is included in the INFLESZ programme.…”

“…Generally, their approach is pragmatic, using one tool for evaluating the quality, another for evaluating the readability and, finally, indicating whether the websites show any quality label or certificate. 26,[36][37][38][39] Regarding the quality of websites for spinal cord-injured patients, we have only found one article assessing their readability. 40 The usual conclusion of all these studies, most of them in English, is that the quality and readability of websites offering information for patients should be improved.…”

“…1 On the other hand, analysis suggests that information available to patients online for conditions such as aortic aneurysm is of poor quality. 6 Limitations of the present study include the relatively small number of patients included and that participants were from a single center. It remains to be seen whether these findings can be extrapolated to other centers.…”
