The aim of the study was to assess the quality and reliability of videos on Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) on YouTube.
A search of YouTube was performed for the term "FECD" without any changes to the website's standard search preferences. The first 100 videos were recorded. A total of 71 videos were evaluated regarding the DISCERN score (min-max: 16-75), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score (min-max: 0-4), and Global Quality Scale (GQS) score (min-max: 0-5).
The mean DISCERN score was 40.1±15.6 (moderate), the mean JAMA score was 2.01±0.7 (poor), the mean GQS score was 2.5±1.3 (moderate), and the mean video power index score was 106.8±135.7. Twenty-three of the videos (32.4%) were uploaded by physicians, 25 (35.2%) by universities/private hospitals, and 21 (29.6%) by health channels. Thirty-six videos (50.7%) contained information about the disease, 24 (33.8%) discussed surgical techniques, and 11 (15.5%) were about patient experience.
YouTube provides only moderate-quality health information on FECD. Physicians and professional organizations should be aware of and embrace this evolving technology to raise awareness about FECD.
本研究旨在评估YouTube上关于富克斯内皮性角膜营养不良（FECD）的视频质量和可靠性。
在YouTube上搜索“FECD”，网站标准搜索偏好不作任何更改。记录前100个视频。共对71个视频进行了DISCERN评分（范围：16 - 75）、美国医学会杂志（JAMA）评分（范围：0 - 4）和全球质量量表（GQS）评分（范围：0 - 5）的评估。
DISCERN评分均值为40.1±15.6（中等），JAMA评分均值为2.01±0.7（差），GQS评分均值为2.5±1.3（中等），视频影响力指数评分均值为106.8±135.7。其中23个视频（32.4%）由医生上传，25个（35.2%）由大学/私立医院上传，21个（29.6%）由健康频道上传。36个视频（50.7%）包含疾病信息，24个（33.8%）讨论了手术技术，11个（15.5%）关于患者体验。
YouTube提供的关于FECD的健康信息质量仅为中等。医生和专业组织应意识到并接受这项不断发展的技术，以提高对FECD的认识。
