During the past decade, the share of households in the EU with internet access has increased from 55 % in 2007 to 85 % in 2016. During that time the internet has become the most commonly used tool for communication and information acquisition. In health-care the website of a department may be advantageous to inform patients adequately and stay in contact with them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the online-presence of plastic surgery departments in the DACH-area (Germany [eutschland], ustria and Switzerland [onfoederatio elvetica]).
Homepages of plastic surgery departments in the DACH-area were identified and evaluated according to 40 different criteria from the five categories "general information", "information brokerage", "science and teaching", "information for patients and relatives" and "information on treatment". Additionally, all departments were searched for using the Google search engine and the rank in the list of search results was documented. The results from departments affiliated with a university and such without affiliation were compared using the t-test as well as the chi-test.
Of the 172 departments found, most were from Germany (77 %), followed by Switzerland (15 %) and Austria (8 %). As contact reference, a telephone number was given on all of the homepages and on 95 % of the websites the range of available treatments was elucidated. 95 % of the homepages were available in German, with only 22 % being available in English. At least seven and at max 34 of the 40 criteria were fulfilled. The three least commonly fulfilled criteria were information on first-aid measures in case of injury, information on possible waiting times and information on the number of intensive-care beds available to plastic surgery patients (all 4 %). The median Google-rank of the homepages was first. Departments affiliated to a university met 14 of the examination-criteria significantly more often than those without affiliation.
The online-presence of plastic surgery department in the DACH-area can be summed up as sufficient. On average homepages of departments affiliated with a university conveyed more information. Nevertheless, information on first-aid measures in case of injuries and multilingual presentation need to be improved.
在过去十年中，欧盟有互联网接入的家庭比例从2007年的55%增至2016年的85%。在此期间，互联网已成为最常用的沟通和信息获取工具。在医疗保健领域，科室网站可能有利于充分告知患者并与他们保持联系。本研究的目的是评估德语区（德国、奥地利和瑞士）整形外科科室的在线情况。
确定德语区整形外科科室的主页，并根据“一般信息”“信息中介”“科学与教学”“患者及亲属信息”和“治疗信息”这五个类别中的40项不同标准进行评估。此外，使用谷歌搜索引擎搜索所有科室，并记录其在搜索结果列表中的排名。使用t检验和卡方检验比较大学附属医院科室和非附属医院科室的结果。
在找到的172个科室中，大多数来自德国（77%），其次是瑞士（15%）和奥地利（8%）。作为联系参考，所有主页都提供了电话号码，95%的网站阐明了可用治疗范围。95%的主页为德语，只有22%为英语。40项标准中至少满足7项，最多满足34项。最不常满足的三项标准是受伤时的急救措施信息、可能的等待时间信息以及整形外科患者可用重症监护病床数量信息（均为4%）。主页的谷歌排名中位数为第一。大学附属医院科室满足的检查标准比非附属医院科室显著多14项。
德语区整形外科科室的在线情况总体上可以说是充足的。平均而言，大学附属医院科室的主页传达的信息更多。然而，受伤时的急救措施信息和多语言展示需要改进。
