Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos involving SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) laser surgery and to assess the differences between physician-authored and patient-generated content.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on YouTube for SMILE laser surgery videos. The top 100 English-language videos were evaluated using validated scoring systems including DISCERN, JAMA, Global Quality Score (GQS), and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audio Visual (PEMAT-A/V).

Results: The average quality scores were moderate across all metrics (DISCERN: 45.1, PEMAT-AV Understandability: 68.8, PEMAT-AV Actionability: 49.9, JAMA: 2.39, GQS: 2.99). Physician-authored videos scored significantly higher on reliability, treatment choices, and overall quality (p < 0.05). Patient-generated videos demonstrated higher viewer engagement, with more views (23,973 vs. 15,467) and comments (28 vs. 8). Positive correlations were determined between video length, likes, comments, and quality metrics (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The SMILE laser surgery information on YouTube is of moderate quality. While physician-authored videos provide higher quality content, patient-generated videos offer unique perspectives and greater engagement. There is a need for balanced, high-quality video content that incorporates both professional expertise and patient experiences to provide comprehensive and reliable online information about SMILE laser surgery.

youtube上的SMILE（小切口晶状体摘除）激光手术视频的综合质量和可靠性评估。

目的：评估YouTube上涉及SMILE（小切口晶状体摘除）激光手术的视频的质量和可靠性，并评估医生撰写和患者生成内容之间的差异。方法：在YouTube上全面搜索SMILE激光手术视频。使用经过验证的评分系统对前100个英语视频进行评估，包括DISCERN， JAMA，全球质量评分（GQS）和患者教育材料视听评估工具（PEMAT-A/V）。结果：所有指标的平均质量得分均为中等（DISCERN: 45.1， PEMAT-AV可理解性：68.8，PEMAT-AV可操作性：49.9,JAMA: 2.39, GQS: 2.99）。医生制作的视频在可靠性、治疗选择和整体质量方面得分显著较高(p)。结论：YouTube上SMILE激光手术信息质量中等。虽然医生创作的视频提供了更高质量的内容，但患者生成的视频提供了独特的视角和更大的参与度。需要平衡、高质量的视频内容，结合专业知识和患者经验，提供有关SMILE激光手术的全面、可靠的在线信息。
