“…There have been several YouTube studies assessing the quality of various medical content, with most showing that the quality is generally poor [6,[16][17][18][19][20][21]. YouTube does not regulate the content its creators provide and provides search results based on a user's personalized search history, age, gender, and geolocation rather than the highest quality videos [5]. Assessing video length is an important aspect, as it has been shown that there is a significant drop in engagement if a video is longer than 2 minutes and another if it is longer than 12 minutes [5].…”

“…Videos were assessed by the Global Quality Scale (GQS) (Table 1), modified DISCERN (Table 2), and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scores (Table 3). These scoring systems have been used in prior YouTube studies [5,[8][9][10][11][12]. GQS measures video quality content on a 5-point scale as it relates to quality, flow, topics covered, and usefulness [5].…”

“…As a result, YouTube cannot screen and guarantee the accuracy of each video, potentially exposing patients to lower quality information. The quality of the information provided on YouTube for the rehabilitation of common orthopedic conditions has been previously examined for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR), but meniscus tear rehabilitation remains unexamined [5][6][7]. The purpose of this study was to assess and analyze the content quality of YouTube videos concerning meniscus tear rehabilitation.…”

Introduction:YouTube is an open-source platform where creators can record and upload videos for others to see. As the popularity of YouTube increases, it is being increasingly used for healthcare-related information. However, with the relative ease of uploading videos, the content quality of individual videos is not regulated. This study aimed to assess and analyze the content quality of YouTube videos concerning meniscus tear rehabilitation. We hypothesized that most videos would be of low quality.Methods: The keywords "meniscus tear treatment," "meniscus tear recovery," "meniscus tear physical therapy," and "meniscus tear rehabilitation" were used for searching videos on YouTube. A total of 50 videos was analyzed in this study that related to meniscal rehabilitation, grouped into one of four categories: nonphysician professionals (physical therapists and chiropractors) (n=28), physicians (with or without academic affiliation) (n=5), non-academic healthcare-related websites (n=10), and non-professional individuals (n=7). Videos were then assessed by two independent authors using three scoring systems, which included the Global Quality Scale (GQS), modified DISCERN, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scores. The number of likes, comments, video length, and views were collected for each video. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare quality scores and video analytics.Results: The overall median GQS, modified DISCERN, and JAMA scores were 3 (interquartile range (IQR): 2-3), 2 (IQR: 2-2), and 2 (IQR: 2-2), respectively. Sorted by GQS scores, 20 videos were of low quality (40%), 21 were intermediate (42%), and nine were of high quality (18%). Non-physician professionals produced 56% (28 of 50) of the videos assessed, with physical therapists constituting 86% (24 of 28) of this category. The median duration of each video was 6:54 (IQR: 3:59-10:50) minutes, views was 42,262 (IQR: 12,491), and likes was 877 (IQR: 239-4,850). Kruskal-Wallis testing showed a significant difference between JAMA scores, likes, and video length duration between video categories (p<0.028). Conclusion:The overall median reliability of YouTube videos on meniscus tear rehabilitation measured by JAMA and modified DISCERN scores was low. The overall median video quality, as assessed by GQS scores, was intermediate. Video quality was highly variable, with fewer than 20% meeting high-quality standards. As a result, patients are often viewing lower quality videos when researching their condition online.

Resumo Objetivo O advento da Internet proporcionou recursos novos e de fácil acesso para pacientes que procuram mais informações sobre saúde. Muitos médicos e organizações de saúde publicam vídeos informativos nesta plataforma e quase todos os pacientes procuram tais vídeos online para uma segunda opinião. Métodos As frases “frozen shoulder (ombro congelado)”, “frozen shoulder treatment (tratamento de ombro congelado)”, “adhesive capsulitis (capsulite adesiva)” e “adhesive capsulitis treatment (tratamento de capsulite adesiva)” foram inseridas na barra de pesquisa do YouTube para uma consulta normal. A informatividade e a qualidade geral dos vídeos sobre capsulite adesiva foram avaliadas usando três escalas distintas. Resultados Os valores de média e desvio padrão dos sistemas de pontuação do Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) foram 1,25 ± 0,51, DISCERN, 39,4 ± 13,4, Global Quality Score (GQS, Índice de Qualidade Global em português) 2,83 ± 0,96 e Adhesive Capsulitis Specific Score (ACSS, Escore Específico de Capsulite Adesiva em português), 7,43 ± 4,86, respectivamente. O número de visualizações, a taxa de visualizações e as curtidas tiveram uma correlação positiva com GQS, DISCERN e ACSS. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os valores medianos de JAMA, GQS e DISCERN de acordo com a fonte/carregador do vídeo (p > 0,05). Conclusão Os vídeos do YouTube sobre capsulite adesiva precisam ter maior qualidade, confiabilidade e qualidade instrutiva. Há necessidade de vídeos confiáveis sobre capsulite adesiva, com citações instrutivas e de alta qualidade.
