Abstract

Abstract Purpose This study seeks to evaluate the quality and reliability of information regarding de Quervain's tenosynovitis on YouTube. Methods A search on the YouTube was performed using the keywords de Quervain's tenosynovitis , and the first 50 videos were evaluated. Video characteristics including views, content type, and video upload source were recorded. Video reliability was assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ) benchmark criteria. Video quality was assessed using the Global Quality Score (GQS) and a novel de Quervain's Tenosynovitis-Specific Score (DQT-SS). Results The total number of views for all videos evaluated was 5,508,498 (mean, 110,169.96 ± 155,667.07). Video reliability and quality metrics were low, with a mean JAMA score of 2.17 ± 0.82 out of 4, a mean GQS of 2.49 ± 1.28 out of 5, and a mean DQT-SS of 4.53 ± 2.35 out of 11. Significant between-group effects were found for the video source and DQT-SS ( p = 0.027), as well as between content type and JAMA score ( p = 0.027), GQS ( p = 0.003), and DQT-SS ( p = 0.003). Positive independent predictors of DQT-SS included video duration in seconds (β = 0.391) and disease-specific information content type (β = 0.648). Conclusion Videos on YouTube regarding de Quervain's tenosynovitis were frequently viewed; however, the information present was of low quality and reliability. Physician-uploaded videos had the highest mean JAMA scores, GQS, and DQT-SS, but had the second-lowest mean number of views of video sources. Patients should receive proper in-office education and be directed toward reputable resources for their orthopaedic conditions.

将 YouTube 作为有关杜氏腱鞘炎的患者信息来源的质量和可靠性分析

摘要目的本研究旨在评估 YouTube 上有关杜氏腱鞘炎信息的质量和可靠性。方法以德-夸尔曼氏腱鞘炎为关键词在 YouTube 上进行搜索，并对前 50 个视频进行评估。记录了视频特征，包括浏览量、内容类型和视频上传来源。视频可靠性采用《美国医学会杂志》（JAMA）基准标准进行评估。视频质量采用总体质量评分（GQS）和新的特异性杜氏腱鞘炎评分（DQT-SS）进行评估。结果所有评估视频的总浏览量为 5,508,498 次（平均值为 110,169.96 ± 155,667.07 次）。视频可靠性和质量指标较低，JAMA 评分平均值为 2.17 ± 0.82（满分 4 分），GQS 评分平均值为 2.49 ± 1.28（满分 5 分），DQT-SS 评分平均值为 4.53 ± 2.35（满分 11 分）。在视频来源和 DQT-SS ( p = 0.027) 以及内容类型和 JAMA 分数 ( p = 0.027)、GQS ( p = 0.003) 和 DQT-SS ( p = 0.003) 之间发现了显著的组间效应。以秒为单位的视频时长（β = 0.391）和疾病特定信息内容类型（β = 0.648）是预测 DQT-SS 的积极独立因素。结论 YouTube 上有关杜氏腱鞘炎的视频被频繁浏览，但所提供信息的质量和可靠性较低。医生上传的视频在 JAMA 评分、GQS 和 DQT-SS 方面的平均值最高，但在视频源的平均观看次数方面却排名第二。患者应在诊室内接受适当的教育，并引导他们使用信誉良好的资源来治疗骨科疾病。
