“…However, only the difference between DISCERN scores of the videos shared by physicians and those shared by non-physicians reached statistical significance (p<0.001). Similarly, previous studies have also found that quality of the medical information published by physicians was higher than the medical information published by non-physicians [23]. In our study, scores given to the question about reliability and treatment information in the DISCERN scoring system were also higher in the videos shared by physicians compared to the videos shared by non-physicians.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate quality and scientific accuracy of videos related to rotator cuff tear on YouTube. Methods Term of "rotator cuff tear" was entered to the searching bar of YouTube and the first 50 YouTube videos about rotator cuff tear with the highest view counts were recorded and evaluated by two orthopedists. Title of the videos that met the inclusion criteria were recorded. The videos were evaluated with DISCERN and JAMA scoring system, and Video Power Index. Results The mean DISCERN score was calculated as 35.7±8.9, and the mean JAMA score was found as 2.9±0.4. The mean DISCERN score was statistically significantly higher in the physician group compared to the non-physician group. There was a very strong and statistically significant correlation and an excellent compliance between both observers. Conclusion In general, quality of videos published on YouTube about rotator cuff tear was low.

“…However, many internet sources are not regulated or edited, resulting in the dissemination to patients of an overwhelming amount of content that may be low quality and inaccurate. [3][4][5][6] Therefore, it is imperative for physicians to be aware of and critically evaluate such resources to help educate patients and guide them through the management of their disease such that they are not misinformed.…”

Background: It is critical for patients seeking foot and ankle care to have access to quality online resources, as the treatment of their conditions may involve the use of a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities with which they are unfamiliar. This study was performed to enhance our understanding of if and why patients use Internet-based educational materials, to identify trends in utilization, and to delineate the patient-perceived attributes of quality resources. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to 150 adult foot and ankle patients. The questionnaire consisted of demographic and Internet utilization questions. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the frequency of responses for each question and the relationship between demographics and Internet usage. Results: Younger patients were more likely to use the Internet (P¼ .006). However, there were no other significant differences in demographic attributes between patients who did (76%) and did not (24%) utilize the Internet (P <.05). Of the participants who didn't search the Internet about their condition, the most commonly cited reason was they preferred to receive information directly from their physician (47%). Among Internet users, most found the quality of resources to be good or very good (75%). However, many patients were unsure of the specific websites they accessed (66%) and if materials were AOFAS sponsored (18%). When asked about the attributes of a reliable website, patients felt that physician and/or medical society endorsement were most important (52% and 46%, respectively). Conclusion: Although physician and medical society endorsement positively shape patients' opinions of online education materials, patients often struggle in remembering the site they visited and if it was sponsored by a certain society. Despite this, patients are generally satisfied with online foot and ankle education resources. Future works must assess whether patient and physician perceptions of quality Internet resources are correlated. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
