Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos, as a source of lateral epicondylitis (LE).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 484 videos were analyzed by searching the YouTube platform with the keyword 'lateral epicondylitis.' Journal of the Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, modified DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS) were used for quality and reliability assessments.

Results: A total of 298 videos were evaluated. High quality (GQS 4-5) was identified in 74 videos (24.8%), intermediate quality (GQS 3) in 84 videos (28.2%), and low quality (GQS 1-2) in 140 videos (47%). Of the videos, 57.7% (n = 41) uploaded by physician were of high quality. A significant difference was found between the low-intermediate-high-quality groups in terms of duration, number of views, number of likes, number of comments, likes per day, comments per day, video view ratio, JAMA score and modified DISCERN score (all p < 0.01). In videos uploaded by physicians; views, time since uploaded, JAMA score, modified DISCERN score, and GQS score were significantly higher than videos shared by trainers, health-related web sites, and independent users. The duration and viewing rates of the videos, the number of views, likes, comments, likes per day and comments per day were found to be significantly associated with JAMA, modified DISCERN, and GQS scores (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: About half of YouTube videos for LE were low quality. Most of the high-quality videos have been shared by physicians and these videos have been longer, more viewed, more liked and commented, and more reliable. Healthcare professionals should provide high-quality, unbiased, accurate and instructive information that is accessible to everyone on the YouTube platform.

YouTube平台上关于侧上髁炎的信息是否可靠且质量良好？

目的：本研究旨在调查YouTube视频作为侧上髁炎（LE）来源的质量和可靠性。方法：在这项横断面研究中，通过在YouTube平台上搜索关键词“侧上髁炎症”来分析484个视频《医学会杂志》（JAMA）基准标准、改良的DISCERN和全球质量量表（GQS）用于质量和可靠性评估。结果：共对298个视频进行了评估。高质量（GQS 4-5）在74个视频中被识别（24.8%），中等质量（GQS 3）在84个视频中（28.2%），低质量（GQS1-2）在140个视频（47%）。在医生上传的视频中，57.7%（n=41）是高质量的。低-中-高质量组在持续时间、浏览量、点赞数、评论数、每天点赞、每天评论、视频观看率方面存在显著差异，JAMA分数和修改后的DISCERN分数（所有p结论：大约一半的LE YouTube视频质量较低。大多数高质量视频都由医生分享，这些视频更长、观看次数更多、点赞和评论次数更多、更可靠。医疗保健专业人员应该提供高质量、无偏见、准确和有指导性的信息，让YouTube平台上的每个人都能访问。）。

We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
