“… 6 Recent studies assessing content on orthopaedic trauma found information to be poor (between 29% and 47% of maximum quality scores). 10 11 12 13 This study found HON scores ranging from 42% to 73% of maximum scores, and between 21% and 50% of websites were deemed high-quality based on HON score. This suggests that websites on fragility fracture and osteoporosis are of similar or slightly better quality compared with other orthopaedic websites.…”

“… 7 – 9 No studies have assessed information content on fragility fractures specifically; however, some recent studies have investigated orthopaedic trauma, including clavicle fractures, scaphoid fractures, distal radius fractures, and pelvic/acetabulum fractures and found information to be poor. 10 11 12 13 The literature on content of osteoporosis websites was mostly published before 2010. These findings are likely outdated, given the rapid change in Internet content but consistently found information to be of inadequate quality.…”

Introduction: We aimed to assess the quality and content of websites addressing orthopaedic conditions affecting older adults, emphasizing osteoporosis and fragility fracture. Methods: Ten diagnoses were chosen. The transparency of information was assessed via the Health On the Net (HON) score; information content was assessed via diagnosis-specific grading templates. A total of 140 websites (14 per diagnosis) were reviewed by three raters. HON scores and information quality were compared by diagnosis, website type, and website source. The correlation between HON score and information quality score was calculated. Results: Most websites were commercial (59.3%). Cronbach alpha for Hall scores exceeded the a priori threshold of 0.7. Analysis proceeded using averages across raters. HON score was significantly associated with higher content scores (r = 0.56; P < 0.0001). Content scores ranged from 21.1 to 59.4. Content scores differed significantly by diagnosis ( P = 0.0008) and website source ( P < 0.0001). Discussion: The quality and content of websites is highly variable for osteoporosis and fragility fracture diagnoses. Patients should be encouraged to access reputable sites, including sites displaying a HON seal. Academic and medical specialty societies demonstrate opportunity for improvement of their own websites and might be able to lead efforts to increase accessibility of high-quality content.

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate Artificial Intelligence in Dental Radiology (AIDR) videos on YouTube in terms of popularity, content, reliability, and educational quality. Methods: Two researchers systematically searched about AIDR on YouTube on January 27, 2020, by using the terms "artificial intelligence in dental radiology," "machine learning in dental radiology," and "deep learning in dental radiology." The search was performed in English, and 60 videos for each keyword were assessed. Video source, content type, time since upload, duration, and number of views, likes, and dislikes were recorded. Video popularity was reported using Video Power Index (VPI). The accuracy and reliability of the source of information were measured using the adapted DISCERN score. The quality of the videos was measured using JAMAS and modified Global Quality Score (mGQS) and content via Total Concent Evaluation (TCE). Results: There was high interobserver agreement for DISCERN (intraclass cor

“…Medical information is no exception, and the term “consulting Dr. Google” has been popularized to represent searching for medical information on the internet [ 1 ]. Various studies have investigated the reliability and accuracy of medical information acquired on the internet [ 2 - 4 ]. However, there has been no research to specifically examine the extent to which medical information from websites supervised by medical associations is acquired from search results.…”

Background Most people currently use the internet to obtain information about many subjects, including health information. Thus, medical associations need to provide accurate medical information websites. Although medical associations have their own patient education pages, it is not clear if these websites actually show up in search results. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate how well medical associations function as online information providers by searching for information about musculoskeletal-related pain online and determining the ranking of the websites of medical associations. Methods We conducted a Google search for frequently searched keywords. Keywords were extracted using Google Ads Keyword Planner associated with “pain” relevant to the musculoskeletal system from June 2016 to December 2019. The top 20 search queries were extracted and searched using the Google search engine in Japan and the United States. Results The number of suggested queries for “pain” provided by Google Ads Keyword Planner was 930 in the United States and 2400 in Japan. Among the top 20 musculoskeletal-related pain queries chosen, the probability that the medical associations’ websites would appear in the top 10 results was 30% in the United States and 45% in Japan. In five queries each, the associations’ websites did not appear among the top 100 results. No significant difference was found in the rank of the associations’ website search results (P=.28). Conclusions To provide accurate medical information to patients, it is essential to undertake effective measures for search engine optimization. For orthopedic associations, it is necessary that their websites should appear among the top search results.
