“…This is in accordance to former studies on benign diseases [17-19]. A study on Spanish web pages on PCa showed that 31% of cancer web pages displayed quality seals, 62% provided adequate references, and 54% offered information on the last update [12].…”

“…In our study, only a minority of the web pages showed such a certification. In a similar study on Perthes disease, a comparable low number of the web pages had a HON certificate [17]. In a study on the 13 most frequently used web pages on PCa, Borgmann et al [14] found a slightly higher number of pages with HON certificate.…”

Background: The internet is an emerging source of information for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Since little is known about the quality of information on PCa provided online, we investigated its accordance to the latest European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines. Methods: A total of 89 German web pages were included for analysis. A quality model classifying the provider of information and its expertise was introduced. Correctness of provided information was systematically compared to the EAU guidelines. Results: Information was provided by medical experts (41%), media (11%), and pharmaceutical companies (6%). Certificates were found in 23% with a significantly higher rate if provided by medical experts (p = 0.003). The minority of web pages showed information in accordance with the EAU guidelines regarding screening (63%), diagnosis (32%), classification (39%), therapy (36%), complications (8%), and follow-up (27%). Web pages by medical experts as well as websites with any kind of certification showed a significantly higher guideline conformity regarding diagnosis (p = 0.027, p = 0.002), therapy (p = 0.010, p = 0.011), follow-up (p = 0.005, p < 0.001), and availability of references (p = 0.017, p = 0.003). Conclusions: The present study reveals that online health information on PCa lacks concordance to current guidelines. Certified websites or websites provided by medical experts showed a significantly higher quality and accordance with guidelines.

Background Internet searches and social media utilization in healthcare has exploded over the past five years, and patients utilize it to gain information on their health conditions and physicians. Social media has the potential to serve as a means for education, communication, and marketing in all healthcare specialties. Physicians are sometimes reluctant to engage due to concerns of privacy, litigation, and lack of experience with this modality. Many surgical subspecialties have capitalized on social media but no study to date has examined the specific footprint of pediatric orthopedic surgeons in this realm. We aim to quantify the utilization of individual social media platforms by pediatric orthopedic surgeons, and identify any differences between private and hospital based physicians, but also regional differences. Methods Using the POSNA Member Directory, each active member’s social media presence was reviewed through an Internet search. Members were stratified based on practice model and geographic location. Individual Internet searches, social media sites, and number of publications were reviewed for social media presence. Results Of 987 POSNA members, 95% had a professional webpage, 14.8% a professional Facebook page, 2.2% a professional Twitter page, 36.8% a LinkedIn profile, 25.8% a ResearchGate profile, 33% at least one YouTube. Hospital based physicians had a lower mean level of utilization of social media compared to their private practice peers, and a higher incidence of Pubmed publications. Private practice physicians had double the social media utilization. Regional differences reveal that practicing Pediatric Orthopaedists in the Northeast had increased utilization of ResearchGate and LinkedIn and the West had the lowest mean social media utilization levels. Conclusion The rapid expansion of social media usage by patients and their family members is an undeniable force impacting the health care industry. The Internet and social media platforms provide all physicians with a means to educate patients, collaborate with colleagues, and promote their practice and areas of interest. Our survey indicates that pediatric orthopedic surgeons may be underutilizing their potential social media presence. Levels of Evidence Level IV

“…Increased accessibility and speed of communication have significantly altered the distribution of information on the internet for health issues [9]. As healthcare providers learn how to enhance shared decision-making and patient engagement, they have to acknowledge that patients are turning towards online sources for information.…”

The Quality of Online Information for an Uncommon Malignancy—Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs)

et al. 2021

Background: Patient information is critical in shared decision-making and patient-centred management for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Most adults search the internet for health issues, with over half considering such information to be credible. Therefore, we evaluated the quality of online information on NETs. Methods: Searching for “Neuroendocrine Tumours”, the top 20 websites from Google and top 10 from Yahoo and Bing were identified. Open-access websites written in English were included. Websites indicated as advertisements or directed towards healthcare providers were excluded. Each website was evaluated using the JAMA benchmarks, DISCERN instrument, and the Health on the Internet (HONCode) seal by two independent reviewers. Results: We included 16 unique websites after removing duplicates. Four were education pages from healthcare institutions, 10 were Cancer Society pages, and 2 were general information pages. The average score for JAMA benchmarks was 2.3, with 19% of websites receiving the highest score of 4. Specifically, 31% met the benchmark for authorship, 69% for attribution, 94% for disclosure, and 44% for currency. The average score for the DISCERN instrument was 46.5, with no website achieving the maximum of 80 points. The HONCode seal was present in 3 out of 16 websites (18%). Conclusions: We identified major issues with the quality of online information for NETs using validated instruments. The majority of websites identified through common search engines are low-quality. Patients should be informed of the limited quality of online information on NETs. High-quality online information is needed to ensure that patients can avoid misinformation and actively participate in their care.
