Online information on oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is insufficient and of low quality. While only written information has been previously assessed, this study aims to evaluate the content and quality of audiovisual (AV) online information about OED.
One hundred and twenty-seven materials were initially considered using six key words across two search engines (YouTube and Google). Ultimately, 29 materials remained for the final assessment. These materials were then analysed for content, quality (DISCERN instrument, JAMA benchmarks), understandability and actionability.
Most contents were scientific (n = 25), while three videos were educational, and one video was a personal experience with OED. On a scale of 1-5, the overall DISCERN score was (mean ± SD = 2.26 ± 0.79), suggesting poor quality of information. Regarding JAMA benchmarks, there was no single material that fulfilled or lacked all four benchmarks. The overall mean understandability score was 82% and the actionability mean score was significantly low at 29%.
Although the vast majority of AV materials on OED were primarily produced for scientific purposes, these materials could be helpful as resources for patient education. Keeping in mind, however, that the desired quality and essential patient information about OED available online remains largely poor and missing.
关于口腔上皮异型增生（OED）的在线信息不足且质量较低。虽然之前仅评估了书面信息，但本研究旨在评估有关 OED 的视听（AV）在线信息的内容和质量。
最初使用两个搜索引擎（YouTube 和 Google）的六个关键词考虑了 127 种材料。最终，有 29 种材料仍需进行最终评估。然后对这些材料进行内容、质量（DISCERN 工具，JAMA 基准）、可理解性和可操作性分析。
大多数内容是科学的（n=25），而三个视频是教育性的，一个视频是关于 OED 的个人经历。DISCERN 评分范围为 1-5，平均得分为（平均值±标准差=2.26±0.79），表明信息质量较差。关于 JAMA 基准，没有一个材料满足或缺乏所有四个基准。整体可理解性评分为 82%，可操作性评分为 29%，明显较低。
尽管 OED 的绝大多数 AV 材料主要是为科学目的制作的，但这些材料可以作为患者教育的资源。然而，需要注意的是，在线上提供的关于 OED 的所需质量和基本患者信息仍然很差且缺失。
