“…Concernedly, the quality of videos was also very disappointing when they involve life‐threatening oral conditions, such as oral cancer. A recent investigation demonstrated that only 7.6% of the analysed videos showed useful information on oral cancer, whereas more than 50% were considered either slightly useful, not useful, or even misleading, and, in agreement with our study, they found that videos describing personal experiences were the most viewed …”

“…Although the use of social media, such as YouTube™, may have a positive impact on professional networking and education, patient care and education and organisational promotion, they are not exempt from potential dangers, such as poor quality of information, damage of professional image, breaches of patient privacy, or licensing and other legal issues . Therefore, there is an urgent need to screen the source of these videos in order to improve the content of YouTube™ videos as has been previously proclaimed from within other fields of health care …”

Objectives The aim of this review was to investigate quality assessment and quantitative information on burning mouth syndrome (BMS) on YouTube™ videos. Methods An electronic search of YouTube™ videos on BMS was performed using subject headings, keywords and synonyms of BMS. For each video, quality information, via the quality assessment score (QAS) and quantitative information, such as the total number of results per term searched, date of upload, clip length, view count, source category (professional, personal, educational, mixed), number of likes and dislikes and YouTube™ category were evaluated. Results The search identified 3768 videos of which only 114 were included in our analysis: the quality of videos was very poor (mean ± standard deviation = 1.76 ± 1.64). The most representative categories were “educational” with 53 (46.5%) videos scoring between 0 and 4 and “mixed” with 24 (21.1%) videos scoring between 0 and 2. Significant differences were found among all four categories in relation to length in seconds (P < 0.001), number of views (P = 0.006) and interaction index (P = 0.001), as well as between “professional” and the other categories and between “educational” and “personal” in relation to length in seconds (P < 0.001), between “educational” and “personal” (P < 0.001) and “personal” and “mixed” category in relation to interaction index (P = 0.003) and between “professional” and “personal” in relation to views per day (P = 0.015). Conclusions A large number of videos regarding BMS have published on YouTube™, with a wide range of distribution regarding their length and views. Unfortunately, they presented unreliable information which is most often scientifically inaccurate. Health care institutions and professionals should be more actively involved in improving high‐quality e‐information about BMS on YouTube™.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the quality of information offered for patients seeking information on lingual orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: YouTubee was searched for videos about lingual orthodontic treatment using the key word ''lingual braces'' from the Google Trends application. One hundred and four videos were selected to be analyzed from the first 120 results. The video content was evaluated using a 10-point score, which was used for classifying low-and high-content video groups. The video information and quality index (VIQI) was applied to determine the quality of the videos. The Mann-Whitney U-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated for statistical evaluations. Results: We classified 32 videos as high-content and 72 as low-content. Most videos were uploaded by laypeople (58.7%, n ¼ 61). Definition of lingual braces and psychological impact were the most commonly discussed topics (51.0%), followed by speech performance (47

“…Hassona et al carried out a study examining the YouTube videos related with oral cancers during which the videos uploaded by professional associations and healthcare professionals were compared as a result of which it was determined that the videos uploaded by individuals users were less useful (20). Serinken et al carried out a study examining the YouTube videos on kidney stones in which it was determined that the videos uploaded by hospitals were more useful in comparison with videos uploaded by physicians and other healthcare professionals (15).…”

OBJECTIVE: It was evaluated the sufficiency of YouTube videos related with kidney transplantation as a source of information in this study. MATERIAL and METHODS:A search was made on YouTube web site on 01.09.2015 with the "kidney transplantation" keyword. Videos were evaluated by two nephrology specialists experienced in kidney transplantation. Scores (between 0 and 10) for "reliability", "quality", "usefulness" were given to each video content during expert evaluation. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis analyses were carried out for the evaluation of the acquired data using SPSS 20.0. RESULTS:It was determined that 10% of the videos included in the study contained misleading information. It was determined that the videos which have received the highest number of views were on herbal products, surgical intervention and religious knowledge videos respectively (p<0.05). When the distribution of evaluated score averages with regard to the source uploading the video was considered, statistically significant differences were determined in all areas (p<0.05). CONCLUSION:Even though there is information on YouTube related with kidney transplantation, there are also videos that include misleading and unprofessional information. It is thought that healthcare professionals have significant responsibilities for ensuring that videos with reliable content are available in social media. KEy wORDS: Kidney transplantation, Patient information, Social media, YouTubeÖz AMAÇ: Çalışmada; böbrek nakli ile ilgili YouTube videolarının bilgi kaynağı olarak yeterliliği değerlendirilmektedir. GEREÇ ve yÖNTEMLER:YouTube web sitesinde 01.09.2015 tarihinde "böbrek nakli" anahtar kelimesi ile tarama yapıldı. Videolar, birbirinden bağımsız olarak böbrek nakli alanında deneyimli iki nefroloji uzmanı tarafından değerlendirildi. Uzman değerlendirmesinde; video içeriğine "güvenilirlik", "kalite", "yararlılık" puanları (0-10 arasında) verildi. Elde edilen verilerin değerlendirmesinde, SPSS 20.0 kullanılarak yüzdelik, kikare, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis analizleri yapıldı.BULGULAR: Çalışmada değerlendirmeye alınan videoların %10'unda yanıltıcı bilgi olduğu belirlendi. En çok izlenen ilk üç videonun sırasıyla; bitkisel ürün tanıtımı, cerrahi girişim ve dini bilgi veren videolar olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). Videoyu yükleyen kaynağa göre değerlendirilen puan ortalamalarının dağılımına bakıldığında; tüm alanlarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). SONUÇ:YouTube'da böbrek nakli hakkında bilgi var olmakla birlikte, yetkili olmayan ve yanıltıcı bilgi içeren videolar da bulunmaktadır. Sağlık profesyonellerinin, sosyal medyada güvenilir bilgi içeriğine sahip videoların yer almasını sağlamada önemli sorumluluklarının olduğu düşünülmektedir.
