Objectives: The aim of the study was to clarify the reliability and quality of English videos about Coronary artery bypass grafting on YouTubeTM. Methods: The study was performed between July 16 and July 30. A cardiovascular surgeon searched for terms including “coronary artery disease,” “coronary artery treatment,” “coronary artery bypass” and “coronary artery bypass surgery,” in YouTubeTM. All videos were classified into two groups according to the source who uploaded the video as professional videos and non-professional videos. Video characteristics including duration of video on YouTube™, length of video, and view numbers for each video were recorded. Moreover, the numbers of “comments,” “likes,” and “dislikes” were noted. Furthermore, the target audience of the videos (professional health care worker and patients) was analyzed, DISCERN score and Global quality score (GQS) were calculated for each video. Results: Totally, 812 videos were divided into two groups according to upload sources; 448 videos were categorized as professional videos and 364 videos were categorized as non-professional videos. The mean number of views was 3220.5 for professional videos and 2216.5 for non-professional videos (p=0.001). In addition, the mean “like” numbers and mean comment numbers were significantly higher for professional videos (p=0.001 and p=0.001). The mean DISCERN score was 2.6 for professional videos and 1.5 for non-professional videos (p=0.001). Similarly, the mean GSQ was significantly higher for professional videos (3.5 vs. 2.5, p=0.001). Conclusion: YouTube™ videos which are shared by professional healthcare workers have better quality and reliability with significantly higher DISCERN score and GQS.

“…In the Atac study that analyzed YouTube videos, the most useful videos were uploaded by news agencies [17]. In another study, Baytaroglu and Sevgli evaluated YouTube videos about peripheral vascular disease, and they did not find any correlation between the source of upload and the type of video [18]. In contrast, Yuksel and Cakmak found informative videos were shared mostly by professional healthcare providers [13].…”

IntroductionTo determine the quality of English language YouTube videos on uterine leiomyomas (UL) and their surgical treatment. MethodsThe present study was performed from October 1 to October 8, 2021. A gynecologist with 10 years of experience searched for keywords on YouTube, including 'UL surgery', 'laparoscopic myomectomy,' 'myomectomy,' 'surgical treatments for UL,' and 'operations for UL.' Videos were categorized into three groups according to content as informative videos, personal experience videos, and news update videos. All videos characteristics, including the number of views, the length and duration of the video, number of 'likes,' 'dislikes,' and 'comments,' were recorded. Medical information and content index (MICI) score, DISCERN score, and Global Quality Score (GQS) were calculated for each video. ResultsIn total, 54 videos were categorized as informative videos, 46 videos were classified as patient experience videos, and 37 videos were accepted as news agency videos. The mean comment numbers were 105.6 for patient experience videos, and the difference was statistically different in favor of patient experience videos (p= 0.001). The GQS and DISCERN scores were significantly higher for the informative group in comparison with the other two groups (p=0.001 and p=0.001 for both groups). Clinical symptoms and treatment outcomes were the most frequently mentioned content in informative videos (81.8% and 97.1%). The mean MICI score was 2.7. ConclusionThe present study demonstrated that YouTube videos about UL and its surgical treatments have low quality and utility. However, informative videos that are mostly uploaded by professional health providers have significantly better DISCERN and GQS scores.

Background To determine the quality of YouTube videos about premature ovarian failure (POF), and variations in quality of professional YouTube videos about POF. Methods The selected terms including ‘POF’, ‘premature ovarian insufficiency’, ‘POF, infertility’, ‘POF, symptoms’, ‘POF, diagnosis’, and ‘POF treatment’ were searched on YouTube. Totally, 100 videos each uploaded by professional and non-professional sources were included. Characteristics of videos were noted and quality of YouTube videos were analyzed according to Global Quality Score (GQS) and modified DISCERN scale. The two groups were compared in terms of video characteristics, GQS, and modified DISCERN score. Videos uploaded by professional sources were categorized into two different groups from the first 5 years and the last 5 years, and compared. Results The mean number of views was 2961 for professional videos and 2003 for non-professional videos (p = 0.006), and the mean duration of videos was 10 minutes for professional videos and 6 minutes for non-professional videos (p = 0.001). When professional videos in the last 10 years were evaluated, number of views and ‘likes’ were significantly higher in favor of professional videos between 2014–2018 (p = 0.033 vs. p = 0.037). Video duration was significantly shortened for videos between 2019–2023 (p = 0.002). Patients as the target audience dominated videos prepared in the last 5 years (p = 0.001). Professional videos had significantly higher GQS and modified DISCERN score (p = 0.001 for each parameter). Moreover, GQS and modified DISCERN scores of professional videos increased significantly in the last 5 years (p = 0.001 vs. p = 0.023). Conclusions Professional YouTube videos about POF had significantly higher quality and ‘like’ numbers, and the quality of professional YouTube videos about POF significantly increased in the last five years. The proportion of professional videos about POF being prepared for patients increased significantly in the last 5 years, but video length of professional videos significantly decreased.
