Abstract

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by a significant decrease in the patients' quality of life. Patients are increasingly looking for information about HS on social media, including YouTube (YT). However, the quality of the videos in some other diseases has been often scored as poor. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and the quality of the most viewed acne inversa videos on YT. Methods: YT was searched for the keywords “HS” and “acne inversa.” For videos, quality assessment validated DISCERN instrument and the global quality score (GQS) were applied. Furthermore, the popularity of each video using the video power index (VPI) score was evaluated. Results: After applying the exclusion criteria, 34 videos were analyzed. We found that video quality was poor regardless of video type. The mean DISCERN score between the raters was 34.65 ± 10.7, and the mean GQS score was 2.6 ± 0.98. There was no significant correlation between the DISCERN, GQS and VPI, the number of views, likes, dislikes, comments, and video duration. Conclusion: Our study highlights the gaps in knowledge regarding HS treatment on YT. Hence, this information can be used to create superior educational content in the future.

YouTube作为化脓性汗腺炎治疗的信息来源

背景:化脓性汗腺炎(HS)是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病，其特点是患者的生活质量显著下降。越来越多的患者在包括YouTube在内的社交媒体上寻找有关HS的信息。然而，其他一些疾病的视频质量往往被评为较差。目的:本研究的目的是评估YT上观看次数最多的痤疮反向视频的有效性和质量。方法:对YT进行关键词“HS”和“痤疮逆”的检索。对于视频，采用经过DISCERN仪器验证的质量评估和全球质量评分(GQS)。此外，使用视频功率指数(VPI)评分来评估每个视频的受欢迎程度。结果:应用排除标准对34段视频进行分析。我们发现，无论视频类型如何，视频质量都很差。评分者的平均DISCERN评分为34.65±10.7分，平均GQS评分为2.6±0.98分。在DISCERN、GQS和VPI、观看次数、喜欢、不喜欢、评论和视频时长之间没有显著的相关性。结论:我们的研究突出了HS治疗YT的知识差距。因此，这些信息可以用来在未来创建优质的教育内容。
