We sought to perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of online Twitter discussion of enuresis using the hashtag #Enuresis.
Symplur, a fee-based Twitter analytics service, was employed to aggregate and analyze Twitter activity, users, and content for #Enuresis, the official Twitter hashtag for enuresis, between June 2016 and November 2018. Twitter activity was analyzed using average tweets and new users per month. Users were classified based on geographic location, occupation, and organizational affiliation. Content analysis was performed by retrieving information about Twitter engagement metrics, including retweets, links, media, mentions, replies, and frequently used words and hashtags.
A total of 3133 tweets and 1555 users utilizing #Enuresis were identified between June 28, 2016 and November 28, 2018. The average ± standard deviation (SD) number of tweets using #Enuresis per month were not significantly different from 2016 through 2018 (p=0.292). The number of users increased from six to 1555 during the study period, but there was no statistically significant increase in number of new users per month (p=0.346). Physicians comprised 14% of the top 100 influencers, followed by medical device organizations (13%). Popular hashtags in #Enuresis tweets were #Bedwetting, #PisEnLaCama, #schoolnurses, #helpingkids, #ninos, and #salud. Hyperlinks used in #Enuresis tweets included advocacy, academic, commercial, and other social media websites.
Our analysis of #Enuresis demonstrates that the online Twitter discussion regarding enuresis is growing. These results indicate that enuresis has a global appeal and has especially gained traction in European countries, as well as in the U.S.
我们试图使用#遗尿症这个主题标签对在线推特上关于遗尿症的讨论进行定量和定性分析。
使用Symplur（一项收费的推特分析服务）汇总并分析2016年6月至2018年11月期间#遗尿症（遗尿症的官方推特主题标签）的推特活动、用户及内容。通过每月平均推文数和新用户数分析推特活动。根据地理位置、职业和组织隶属关系对用户进行分类。通过检索有关推特参与度指标的信息进行内容分析，这些指标包括转发、链接、媒体、提及、回复以及常用词汇和主题标签。
在2016年6月28日至2018年11月28日期间，共识别出3133条推文和1555名使用#遗尿症的用户。2016年至2018年期间，每月使用#遗尿症的推文平均数量±标准差无显著差异（p = 0.292）。研究期间用户数量从6人增加到1555人，但每月新用户数量无统计学显著增加（p = 0.346）。医生占前100名有影响力者的14%，其次是医疗器械机构（13%）。#遗尿症推文中的热门主题标签有#尿床、#PisEnLaCama、#学校护士、#帮助孩子、#儿童、#健康。#遗尿症推文中使用的超链接包括宣传、学术、商业和其他社交媒体网站。
我们对#遗尿症的分析表明，在线推特上关于遗尿症的讨论正在增加。这些结果表明，遗尿症具有全球吸引力，尤其在欧洲国家以及美国受到关注。
