摘要

简介在线网站是甲状腺切除术患者教育材料的主要来源。我们推测甲状腺切除术网站的质量较低，其可读性高于六年级的建议水平：2023年11月，我们在三大在线数据库（Embase、PubMed和Web of Science）中对评估甲状腺切除术英文网站可读性和/或质量的研究进行了系统性文献综述：在初步筛选的 2017 项研究中，有 10 项符合纳入标准。所有研究均发现网站的可读性高于建议的六年级水平。七项纳入研究对质量的定义和评价不尽相同。尽管如此，所有研究都认为大多数甲状腺切除术网站的质量为差到一般：结论：针对甲状腺切除术的网站不符合推荐的患者教育材料可读性水平。质量评分和报告的异质性限制了可比性。本研究强调了修订和修改现有网站的必要性，以充分帮助患者做出决策。

Readability and Quality Evaluation of Thyroidectomy Websites: A Systematic Review

Introduction

Online websites are a major source of educational material for patients undergoing thyroidectomy. We hypothesize that thyroidectomy websites have low quality and are written above the 6^th grade readability recommendation.

Methods

A systematic literature review of studies evaluating readability and/or quality of thyroidectomy-informing, English-written websites was performed in November 2023 in three major online databases (Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science).

Results

Ten out of 2017 initially screened studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies found websites’ readability above the recommended 6th grade level. Quality was heterogeneously defined and evaluated by seven of the included studies. Nonetheless, all studies deemed most thyroidectomy websites quality as poor to fair.

Conclusions

Websites addressing thyroidectomy do not meet the recommended readability level for patient educational material. The heterogeneity of scoring and reporting of quality limits comparability. This study highlights the necessity of revising and modifying existing websites to adequately aid patient decision-making.
