(1) Background: Evaluation of the quality and reliability of the frailty syndrome videos available on YouTube platform was the aim of this study. (2) Methods: The observational study included 75 videos retrieved by searching seven terms related to frailty syndrome on YouTube. The quality and reliability of the videos were measured using three different tools: quality criteria for consumer health information (DISCERN), the Global Quality Score (GQS), and the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA). The video content was categorized according to the following characteristics: video provider, duration, view count, average daily views of the video, average daily views of a channel, channel subscribers, number of days since upload date, likes, dislikes, comments, the external webpages linked to the videos. (3) Results: The videos had a mean duration of 375 s and an average number of views of 1114. The quality of 17 videos assessed in the study was found to be high, 48-intermediate, and 10-low. The high-quality videos had the longest duration, the highest number of views, and points for the DISCERN score. The physician uploaders had the highest mean DISCERN and mean GQS scores, the highest number of views, and the longest duration but the hospital channels had the highest JAMA score. (4) Conclusions: YouTube can be a valuable source of medical information for patients and caregivers. The quality of videos mostly depends on the authorship and the source of video providers-physicians, academic, and health care-related organizations provide the best quality content based on professional medical knowledge.
(1) 背景：本研究旨在评估YouTube平台上有关衰弱综合征视频的质量和可靠性。(2) 方法：这项观察性研究包括通过在YouTube上搜索与衰弱综合征相关的七个术语检索到的75个视频。使用三种不同工具测量视频的质量和可靠性：消费者健康信息质量标准（DISCERN）、全球质量评分（GQS）和美国医学会杂志（JAMA）。视频内容根据以下特征进行分类：视频提供者、时长、观看次数、视频日均观看次数、频道日均观看次数、频道订阅者、自上传日期起的天数、点赞数、点踩数、评论数、与视频链接的外部网页。(3) 结果：这些视频的平均时长为375秒，平均观看次数为1114次。研究中评估的17个视频质量为高，48个为中等，10个为低。高质量视频的时长最长、观看次数最多且DISCERN评分得分高。医生上传者的DISCERN平均得分和GQS平均得分最高，观看次数最多且时长最长，但医院频道的JAMA得分最高。(4) 结论：YouTube可以成为患者和护理人员获取医学信息的宝贵来源。视频质量大多取决于作者身份和视频提供者的来源——医生、学术机构以及与医疗保健相关的组织基于专业医学知识提供质量最佳的内容。
