To evaluate compliance with confidentiality and conflicts of interest (COI) in tweets sharing gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy videos/images.
Physicians' tweets containing GI endoscopy videos/images were assessed for confidentiality and COI compliance.
Identifiable details in tweets included procedure date (17.9%), date of birth (0.8%), and patient's face visible (0.5%). Ninety-five tweets (10%) mentioned the name/brand of a medical device. Of the 19 posted by US physicians, 7 came from physicians who had received payments from the device manufacturer. None of these physicians disclosed relevant COI.
GI endoscopy tweets describing clinical cases or procedures may insufficiently address issues of confidentiality and COI.

评估了包含胃肠道内窥镜检查视频/图像的医生推文,以评估其保密性和 COI 合规性。
推文中的可识别细节包括手术日期(17.9%)、出生日期(0.8%)和患者面部可见(0.5%)。95 条推文(10%)提到了医疗器械的名称/品牌。在这 19 条由美国医生发布的推文中,有 7 条来自曾从医疗器械制造商处获得报酬的医生。这些医生均未披露相关 COI。
描述临床病例或程序的 GI 内窥镜检查推文可能在保密性和 COI 方面存在不足。
