OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: This study evaluated the quality and comprehensiveness of YouTube videos on hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) for patients. This study also investigated the relationship between video content, video metrics, and popularity.
Cross-sectional study.
We identified 150 videos using three search terms: "inspire sleep apnea," "hypoglossal nerve stimulation," and "upper airway stimulation." Videos that were unrelated to the use of HNS for obstructive sleep apnea in adults, operating room recordings, lectures for medical professionals, non-English, or non-audio were excluded. Video quality and comprehensiveness were assessed using modified DISCERN criterion (range: 5-25) and novel content criterion (range: 0-12), respectively. Secondary outcomes included video metrics (views, likes, dislikes, comments, and days since upload) and Video Power Index to measure popularity. Outcomes were stratified by video uploader source (medical institutions, medical companies, individual users, other).
Users searched YouTube for "inspire sleep apnea" 2.48 times more in 2020 than in 2018. We identified 67 videos for review, with the majority coming from medical institutions (70.2%). Overall, the average-modified DISCERN (13.65 ± 4.88) and novel content (3.87 ± 2.09) scores were low and did not differ between medical institutions or other uploader sources. Higher quality and more comprehensive video content did not correlate with popularity.
Overall quality and comprehensiveness of information of HNS YouTube videos was low. Given the high demand for information on HNS, there is opportunity for medical institutions to implement new strategies to improve both video content and visibility to patients.

目的/假设：本研究评估了 YouTube 视频中关于舌下神经刺激（HNS）的质量和全面性，这些视频是针对患者的。本研究还调查了视频内容、视频指标和受欢迎程度之间的关系。
横断面研究。
我们使用三个搜索词“inspire sleep apnea”、“hypoglossal nerve stimulation”和“upper airway stimulation”，识别了 150 个视频。排除与成人阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的 HNS 使用无关、手术室记录、医疗专业人员讲座、非英语或非音频的视频。使用改良的 DISCERN 标准（范围：5-25）和新内容标准（范围：0-12）分别评估视频质量和全面性。次要结果包括视频指标（浏览量、点赞、不喜欢、评论和上传天数）和视频影响力指数，以衡量受欢迎程度。结果按视频上传者来源（医疗机构、医疗公司、个人用户、其他）进行分层。
用户在 2020 年搜索“inspire sleep apnea”的次数比 2018 年多 2.48 倍。我们共识别出 67 个视频进行审查，其中大部分来自医疗机构（70.2%）。总的来说，平均改良 DISCERN（13.65±4.88）和新内容（3.87±2.09）评分较低，医疗机构和其他上传者来源之间没有差异。更高的质量和更全面的视频内容与受欢迎程度没有相关性。
HNS YouTube 视频的整体信息质量和全面性较低。鉴于对 HNS 信息的高需求，医疗机构有机会实施新策略，以提高对患者的视频内容和可见度。
