“…Consequences are hard to estimate and may lead to patient-doctor relationship conflicts [18,19]. The amount of misleading information varies depending on the topic from 5% in arteriovenous malformations up to even 77% in prostate cancer videos [15,[20][21][22]. In our study false information presented a higher like ratio.…”

Objectives:The variety of clinical presentation on the topic of carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication ranges from slight headache to coma or death. YouTube allows patients to search not only for entertainment but also medical advice. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the content and quality of YouTube videos concerning CO poisoning as a source of knowledge for non-medical audience. Material and Methods: On the December 8, 2020 a YouTube search was conducted for the following phrases: "carbon monoxide poisoning, " "carbon monoxide symptoms, " "CO poisoning, " "carbon monoxide asphyxiation, " "carbon monoxide intoxication" using the "incognito mode" and without attachment to Google Account. The search results were set as: "default" in the YouTube browser. The first 50 results were taken into consideration. Two raters, a specialist in emergency medicine and a specialist in clinical toxicology rated videos with Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), Global Quality Score (GQS) and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). "VidIQ Vision for YouTube" plug-in was used. Results: Ninety-five videos were included. The interclass coefficient for DISCERN, GQS and JAMA scores were: 0.8, 0.74 and 0.62 reaching good and moderate reliability. The mean DISCERN/GQS/JAMA was 28.1 (SD 7.9), 2.5 (SD 0.8) and 1.1 (SD 0.7) respectively. Higher DISCERN/GQS/JAMA had videos providing information on: exposure time, treatment options, hyperbaric chamber indications as well as physician speaker (p < 0.05). Video Power Index was higher when the video contained animations and presented patients own history of CO exposure but not influenced the DISCERN/ GQS/JAMA scores. Videos providing misleading information had a higher like ratio. Conclusions: The overall video quality was poor indicating inappropriate educational and informative value for patients who search information about carbon monoxide poisoning.

“…Neurosurgical topics on YT, such as hydrocephalus, glioblastoma, arteriovenous malformations, and brain aneurysms, tend to be of insufficient educational value [ 2 , 4 , 9 , 10 ]. This study confirms that YT material presented on the topic of meningiomas is also of low quality.…”

“…Studies have shown that 40% of YT videos provided information about nonsurgical treatment options for disc herniation [ 20 ], 12% for spondylolisthesis [ 21 ], 4% for kyphosis [ 20 ], and only 3% for rotator cuffs [ 22 ]. Although the inclusion of “treatment risks” has a positive influence on the quality of YT videos [ 9 , 10 ], this topic is often omitted or poorly outlined. Moreover, 3.26% of tooth removal videos described contraindications, while 15.22% mentioned complications [ 23 ].…”

“…Benign prostatic hyperplasia YT videos provided insufficient information on treatment risks and uncertainties [ 24 ]. Misinformation in meningioma was present in 29% of videos, whereas errors varied from 5% up to 77% for other videos, depending on the topic [ 10 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In 7% of videos, the presented errors could have potentially life-threatening consequences.…”

“…A comparable protocol of video content was extracted (symptoms, treatment, animations, diagrams, etc.) according to previous studies [ 3 , 9 , 10 ]. In addition, the characteristic features of meningiomas (when to seek medical attention, histology, and molecular characteristics) relevant for medical and non-medical viewers were chosen and evaluated based on the rater’s experience.…”

YouTube (YT) has become a popular health information reservoir. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the content and quality of YT videos as a source of patient information for meningiomas. A YT search was conducted for the following terms: “meningioma”, “meningiomas”, “meningeal tumor”, and “psammoma”. A total of 119 videos were examined by five independent raters, using validated quality criteria, including the Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), the Journal of the American Medical Association instrument (JAMA), and the Global Quality Score (GQS). The mean DISCERN score was 35.6 points, while the mean GQS and JAMA scores were 2.4 and 1.8, respectively. The majority of the videos were produced in the United States (37.82%). Moreover, 47.9% of the evaluated videos were graded as “poor” and only 9.24% were “good”. Statistically higher scores in all three scoring systems were associated with the following information: tumor localization, clinical manifestations, indications for surgery, treatment options, risks, adjuvant therapies, results, follow up, diagrams, and those that featured a doctor as the speaker. Misleading information was presented in 35 productions. Our findings show that the overall quality of YT on the topic of meningiomas is defective, and requires further improvement and evaluation.
