Social media is used by patients for health care information. We analyzed the quality of YouTube videos on prostate cancer screening. Most videos (71.1%) mentioned the potential harms of prostate cancer screening. There was no significant difference in risk-related information between videos published before and after the publication of US Preventive Services Task Force 2012 guidelines for prostate cancer screening. In conclusion, the quality of information of YouTube videos on prostate cancer screening is low and the content is potentially misleading.
患者会使用社交媒体获取医疗保健信息。我们分析了YouTube上有关前列腺癌筛查的视频质量。大多数视频（71.1%）提到了前列腺癌筛查的潜在危害。在美国预防服务工作组2012年前列腺癌筛查指南发布之前和之后发布的视频之间，与风险相关的信息没有显著差异。总之，YouTube上有关前列腺癌筛查的视频信息质量较低，内容可能具有误导性。
