: To assess the availability, quality, and readability of online patient education materials regarding uveitis medications.: The top 10 Google search results for 10 commonly prescribed uveitis medications (prednisone, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, adalimumab, and infliximab) were analyzed for readability and accountability. Readability was assessed with the Flesch reading ease score, Flesch-Kincaid grade level, Gunning Fog Index, Simple Measure of Gobbledygook Index, and Coleman Liau Index. benchmarks were used to assign websites accountability scores. Statistical analysis was performed with two-tailed -tests.: Of 100 search results, none complied with the recommended sixth-grade reading level across all readability formulas. Only one website satisfied all 4 benchmarks, two websites were able to satisfy three benchmarks, and the remainder achieved two or less.: Online information regarding uveitis medications lacks accountability and is not written at an appropriate level for the average patient.
评估关于葡萄膜炎药物的在线患者教育材料的可获取性、质量和可读性。:对10种常用葡萄膜炎药物(泼尼松、硫唑嘌呤、甲氨蝶呤、霉酚酸酯、环孢素、他克莫司、苯丁酸氮芥、环磷酰胺、阿达木单抗和英夫利昔单抗)在谷歌上的前10条搜索结果进行可读性和可问责性分析。使用弗莱什易读性分数、弗莱什 - 金凯德年级水平、冈宁雾度指数、复杂程度简易衡量指数和科尔曼 - 廖指数评估可读性。使用基准来分配网站可问责性分数。采用双侧t检验进行统计分析。:在100条搜索结果中,没有一个在所有可读性公式下都符合推荐的六年级阅读水平。只有一个网站满足所有4个基准,两个网站能够满足三个基准,其余的达到两个或更少。:关于葡萄膜炎药物的在线信息缺乏可问责性,并且对于普通患者来说,其写作水平不合适。
