The aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the quality and readability of leaflet and online Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery patient information leaflets (PILs). The quality, readability and grade level of each PIL was assessed using the DISCERN, Flesch Reading Ease and Flesh-Kincaid Grade Level instruments respectively. In total, 140 patient information leaflets were assessed. For both leaflet and online PILs, many items of the DISCERN instrument were deemed of low quality and poorly reported. The median overall quality score was 30.2. Variation in the quality and readability scores between leaflet and online PILs and those produced by various societies was evident. Overall, PILs were deemed to be of moderate quality. Online PILs were of lower quality, more difficult to read and aimed at a higher reading age level.
本研究的目的是评估口腔颌面外科患者手册及在线患者信息手册（PILs）的质量和可读性。分别使用DISCERN工具、弗莱什易读性工具和弗莱什-金凯德年级水平工具对每个PIL的质量、可读性和年级水平进行评估。总共评估了140份患者信息手册。对于手册及在线PILs，DISCERN工具的许多项目被认为质量较低且报告不佳。总体质量得分中位数为30.2。手册和在线PILs之间以及不同协会制作的PILs在质量和可读性得分上存在明显差异。总体而言，PILs被认为质量中等。在线PILs质量较低，更难阅读，针对的阅读年龄水平更高。
