Previous studies have reported low quality and reliability on YouTube videos about various medical issues including videos related to hallux valgus (HV) treatment. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the reliability and quality of YouTube videos on HV and develop a new HV-specific survey tool that physicians, surgeons, and the medical industry can use to create high-quality videos.
Videos viewed over 10,000 times were included in the study. We used the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, global quality score (GQS), DISCERN tool, and new HV-specific survey criteria (HVSSC) developed by us to evaluate the quality, educational utility and reliability of the videos, the popularity of which was assessed using the Video Power Index (VPI) and view ratio (VR).
Fifty-two videos were included in this study. Fifteen videos (28.8%) were posted by medical companies producing surgical implants and orthopedic products, 20 (38.5%) by nonsurgical physicians, and 16 (30.8%) by surgeons. The HVSSC indicated that the quality, educational value, and reliability of only 5 (9.6%) videos were adequate. Videos posted by physicians and surgeons tended to be more popular ( = 0.047 and 0.043). Although no correlation was detected among the DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores, or between the VR and VPI, we found correlations of the HVSSC score with the number of views and the VR ( = 0.374 and = 0.006, respectively). A good correlation was detected among the DISCERN, GQS, and HVSSC classifications (rho = 0.770, 0.853, and 0.831, respectively, = 0.001).
The reliability of HV-related videos on YouTube is low for professionals and patients. The HVSSC can be used to evaluate the quality, educational value, and reliability of videos.
以往研究报告称，YouTube上关于各种医疗问题的视频质量和可靠性较低，包括与拇外翻（HV）治疗相关的视频。因此，我们旨在评估YouTube上关于HV的视频的可靠性和质量，并开发一种新的针对HV的调查工具，供医生、外科医生和医疗行业用于制作高质量的视频。
观看次数超过10000次的视频被纳入研究。我们使用美国医学会杂志（JAMA）的基准标准、全球质量评分（GQS）、DISCERN工具以及我们开发的新的针对HV的调查标准（HVSSC）来评估视频的质量、教育效用和可靠性，视频的受欢迎程度使用视频影响力指数（VPI）和观看比例（VR）进行评估。
本研究纳入了52个视频。15个视频（28.8%）由生产手术植入物和骨科产品的医疗公司发布，20个（38.5%）由非手术医生发布，16个（30.8%）由外科医生发布。HVSSC表明只有5个（9.6%）视频的质量、教育价值和可靠性足够。医生和外科医生发布的视频往往更受欢迎（P = 0.047和0.043）。虽然在DISCERN、JAMA和GQS评分之间，或VR和VPI之间未检测到相关性，但我们发现HVSSC评分与观看次数和VR之间存在相关性（分别为P = 0.374和P = 0.006）。在DISCERN、GQS和HVSSC分类之间检测到良好的相关性（rho分别为0.770、0.853和0.831，P = 0.001）。
YouTube上与HV相关的视频对于专业人员和患者而言可靠性较低。HVSSC可用于评估视频的质量、教育价值和可靠性。
