There is a paucity of literature that has evaluated the information quality of the current bariatric and obesity applications. Our objective was to evaluate the quality of currently available smartphone applications for bariatric-patient care using the Silberg scale. The two most widely used smartphone application online stores were searched in June 2014 and a total of 39 applications were evaluated. The average Silberg score of the 39 applications was 4.0 ± 1.76. The current gaps of information quality include the lack of provision of appropriate references, full disclosure of sponsorship, and accurate disclosure whether the application has been modified in the past month.
目前评估减肥和肥胖相关应用程序信息质量的文献较少。我们的目标是使用西尔伯格量表评估当前可用于减肥患者护理的智能手机应用程序的质量。2014年6月，我们搜索了两个使用最广泛的智能手机应用程序在线商店，共评估了39个应用程序。这39个应用程序的西尔伯格平均得分为4.0±1.76。当前信息质量的差距包括缺乏提供适当的参考文献、充分披露赞助情况以及准确披露该应用程序在过去一个月内是否被修改。
