Patients search YouTube for health-care information.
To examine what YouTube offers patients seeking information on dental implants, and to evaluate the quality of provided information.
A systematic search of YouTube for videos containing information on dental implants was performed using the key words Dental implant and Tooth replacement. Videos were examined by two senior Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residents who were trained and calibrated to perform the search. Initial assessment was performed to exclude non- English language videos, duplicate videos, conference lectures, and irrelevant videos. Included videos were analyzed with regard to demographics and content's usefulness. Information for patients available from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, European Association of Osseointegration, and British Society of Restorative Dentistry were used for benchmarking.
A total of 117 videos were analyzed. The most commonly discussed topics were related to procedures involved in dental implantology (76.1%, n=89), and to the indications for dental implants (58.1%, n=78). The mean usefulness score of videos was poor (6.02 ±4.7 [range 0-21]), and misleading content was common (30.1% of videos); mainly in topics related to prognosis and maintenance of dental implants. Most videos (83.1%, n=97) failed to mention the source of information presented in the video or where to find more about dental implants.
Information about dental implants on YouTube is limited in quality and quantity. YouTube videos can have a potentially important role in modulating patients attitude and treatment decision regarding dental implants.
患者会在YouTube上搜索医疗保健信息。
研究YouTube为寻求种植牙信息的患者提供了什么内容,并评估所提供信息的质量。
使用关键词“种植牙”和“牙齿修复”在YouTube上系统搜索包含种植牙信息的视频。由两名经过培训且校准以进行搜索的口腔颌面外科高级住院医师检查视频。进行初步评估以排除非英语视频、重复视频、会议讲座和无关视频。对纳入的视频进行人口统计学和内容实用性分析。将美国种植牙学会、欧洲骨结合协会和英国修复牙科学会提供给患者的信息用作基准。
共分析了117个视频。最常讨论的主题与种植牙学所涉及的程序有关(76.1%,n = 89),以及种植牙的适应症(58.1%,n = 78)。视频的平均有用性得分较低(6.02±4.7[范围0 - 21]),误导性内容很常见(30.1%的视频);主要出现在与种植牙预后和维护相关的主题中。大多数视频(83.1%,n = 97)未提及视频中所呈现信息的来源或何处可获取更多关于种植牙的信息。
YouTube上关于种植牙的信息在质量和数量上都很有限。YouTube视频在调节患者对种植牙的态度和治疗决策方面可能具有潜在的重要作用。
