The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality, readability, and popularity of patient-oriented online information about peri-implantitis.
The term "peri-implantitis" was searched in Google® and in Yahoo!®. The first 100 websites of each search engine were considered for further analysis. Quality was measured by DISCERN tool, and JAMA benchmarks. Readability was analyzed by Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), Flesch-Kinkaid Reading Grade (FKRG), Gunning Fog index (GFI), and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) index. Popularity was assessed by Alexa Popularity Rank (APR).
Only 28 websites remained after applying the exclusion criteria. The median overall DISCERN rating was 2.0 [2.0-3.0], which demonstrates the low quality of the information related to peri-implantitis. None of the websites achieved all the four JAMA benchmarks. Legibility indices showed ranges within the scores of difficult to read (FRES, 37.3 [26.9-53.9]; FKRGL, 12.8 [10.5-15.4]; GFI, 15.3 [12.5-18.0]; and SMOG, 11.1 [8.8-13.0]). Median APR was 2,228,599.0 [302,352.0-8,125,885.5].
Available English-written e-health information on peri-implantitis is poor in terms of quality and the analyzed websites are beyond the reading level recommended for comprehension. The popularity measurement showed great divergences between different Web pages.
Information about peri-implantitis on the Internet is difficult to read by patients, which they are not capable of understand.
本研究旨在评估有关种植体周围炎的面向患者的在线信息的质量、可读性和普及度。
在 Google® 和雅虎！®中搜索“种植体周围炎”一词。每个搜索引擎的前 100 个网站被认为是进一步分析的对象。使用 DISCERN 工具和 JAMA 基准来衡量质量，使用 Flesch 阅读容易度得分（FRES）、Flesch-Kinkaid 阅读年级（FKRG）、Gunning Fog 指数（GFI）和简化文字难度指数（SMOG）来分析可读性。通过 Alexa 受欢迎程度排名（APR）评估普及度。
应用排除标准后，只剩下 28 个网站。总体 DISCERN 评分中位数为 2.0 [2.0-3.0]，表明与种植体周围炎相关的信息质量较低。没有一个网站达到所有四个 JAMA 基准。可读性指数的得分范围在难以阅读的范围内（FRES，37.3 [26.9-53.9]；FKRGL，12.8 [10.5-15.4]；GFI，15.3 [12.5-18.0]；SMOG，11.1 [8.8-13.0]）。中位数 APR 为 2,228,599.0 [302,352.0-8,125,885.5]。
现有的关于种植体周围炎的英文电子健康信息在质量方面较差，且分析的网站超出了理解所需的推荐阅读水平。流行度测量显示不同网页之间存在很大差异。
互联网上有关种植体周围炎的信息患者难以阅读，他们无法理解。
