To evaluate the quality, reliability, and popularity of YouTube videos addressing strabismus. This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, register-based study. A search was performed using the keywords "strabismus," "squint," "eye squint," and "crossed eye" on YouTube, and the first 50 videos for each keyword were analyzed. The video duration, time since upload, number of total views, view ratio were recorded. Video popularity was recorded using the video power index (VPI). Video educational quality and reliability were measured using the DISCERN questionnaire, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, and Global Quality Score (GQS). All videos were also assigned publishers and categories. Among the 200 videos analyzed, 84 were included. The mean duration was 6.2 min, and the mean number of total views was 227,226. The mean VPI score was 189.6 ± 1093.5 (range, 0-11631). The mean DISCERN score, JAMA score, and GQS were 42.2 ± 15.3, 1.9 ± 1.2, and 2.7 ± 1.1, respectively. While the main video publishers were patients (32.1%) and ophthalmologists (28.5%), the main video categories were patient experience (35.7%) and patient information (26.1%). While the most popular videos were uploaded by a TV show/YouTube channel, the videos with the highest educational quality and reliability scores were uploaded by academic institutions. Although some videos contained sufficient information, most of the videos were rated as fair. YouTube users mostly preferred videos that were of low quality. Patients may be receiving biased information, and physicians should be aware of the type of information patients may be accessing on YouTube.
评估关于斜视的 YouTube 视频的质量、可靠性和流行度。这是一项回顾性、横断面、基于登记的研究。使用关键词“斜视”、“斜视”、“眼斜视”和“交叉眼”在 YouTube 上进行搜索,并分析了每个关键词的前 50 个视频。记录视频时长、上传时间、总观看次数、观看比例。使用视频功率指数 (VPI) 记录视频流行度。使用 DISCERN 问卷、《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA) 评分和全球质量评分 (GQS) 测量视频的教育质量和可靠性。所有视频还被分配了发布者和类别。在分析的 200 个视频中,有 84 个被包括在内。平均时长为 6.2 分钟,平均总观看次数为 227226 次。平均 VPI 评分为 189.6±1093.5(范围,0-11631)。平均 DISCERN 评分、JAMA 评分和 GQS 分别为 42.2±15.3、1.9±1.2 和 2.7±1.1。虽然主要的视频发布者是患者(32.1%)和眼科医生(28.5%),但主要的视频类别是患者体验(35.7%)和患者信息(26.1%)。虽然最受欢迎的视频是由电视节目/YouTube 频道上传的,但教育质量和可靠性评分最高的视频是由学术机构上传的。虽然一些视频包含了足够的信息,但大多数视频的评分都是中等。YouTube 用户更喜欢质量较低的视频。患者可能会收到有偏见的信息,医生应该意识到患者可能在 YouTube 上访问的信息类型。
