“…29 Low quality and reliability of content on YouTube has been reported in other specialties as well, 30,31 although videos about osteoporosis and keratoconus have been found to be of higher quality. 32,33 Thus, while it is certainly possible for health-related videos to be of high quality, video topics meeting this requirement are the exception, not the norm. As physicians possess the clinical expertise to explain these topics as trusted sources, they must continue to educate others outside of clinic appointments and bedside visits.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to characterize the quality of laryngectomy‐related patient education on YouTube and understand factors impacting video content quality.Study DesignCross‐sectional cohort analysis.SettingLaryngectomy‐related videos on YouTube.MethodsYouTube was anonymously queried for various laryngectomy procedure search terms. Video quality was evaluated using the validated DISCERN instrument which assesses treatment‐related information quality. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize our cohort. Univariate and multivariable linear regression were used to assess factors associated with increased DISCERN score. Significance was set at P < .05.ResultsOur 78‐video cohort exhibited moderate levels of engagement, averaging 13,028.40 views (SD = 24,246.93), 69.79 likes (SD = 163.75), and 5.27 comments (SD = 18.81). Videos were most frequently uploaded to accounts belonging to physicians (43.59%) or health care groups (41.03%) and showcased operations (52.56%) or physician‐led education (20.51%). Otolaryngologists were featured in most videos (85.90%), and most videos originated outside the United States (67.95%). Laryngectomy videos demonstrated poor reliability (mean = 2.35, SD = 0.77), quality of treatment information (mean = 1.92, SD = 0.86), and overall video quality (mean = 1.97, SD = 1.12). In multivariable linear regression, operative videos were associated with lower video quality relative to nonoperative videos (β = −1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [−2.03 to −1.24], P < .001); the opposite was true for videos from accounts with higher subscriber counts (β = 0.02, 95% CI = [0.01‐0.03], P = .005).ConclusionThe quality and quantity of YouTube's laryngectomy educational content is limited. There is an acute need to increase the quantity and quality of online laryngectomy‐related content to better support patients and caregivers as they cope with their diagnosis, prepare for, and recover from surgery.

“…The median DISCERN score was 32.8 ± 10, the median JAMA score was 1.3 ± 0.5, and the median GQS score was 3.1 ± 1.1 in a study evaluating YouTube videos on ptosis surgery, and it was emphasized that the videos were not a credible educational information source [15,16]. YouTube videos about keratoconus, on the other hand, were found to be educational and instructive, with a mean DISCERN score of 42.92 ± 18.14, a mean JAMA score of 2.7±0.72, and a mean GQS score of 3.07±1.25 [17]. Studies indicate that YouTube videos with surgical content have a low educational value, and our data support this conclusion.…”

Introduction Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) causes excessive eye tearing or mucoid discharge. Twenty percent of one-year-olds globally have CNLDO. There are many sources that offer information to parents. This study evaluates the quality and accuracy of CNLDO-related YouTube videos. Methods The first 100 videos that appeared after typing "congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction" in the YouTube search engine were evaluated. These videos were also analyzed and scored using the DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality Scoring (GQS) systems. Results Forty videos met the inclusion criteria. The mean DISCERN score was 47.3 ± 9.15, JAMA was 1.72 ± 0.87, and GQS was 3.1 ± 0.81. The duration of the videos uploaded by the non-physician group was significantly longer (p = 0.04). In addition, the JAMA score of the videos uploaded by the physician group was significantly higher than that of the other group (p = 0.03). Theoretical videos were longer than surgical videos (p = 0.02). DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores were statistically higher in the theoretical video group (p = 0.002, p = 0.04, and p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion According to our research, the quality of YouTube videos about congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is average. This information source can be improved by making videos with more detailed information about the disease and theoretical information, as well as by having health professionals look over the content that has been uploaded.
