For high-quality colonoscopies, adequate bowel preparation is a prerequisite, closely associated with the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic safety of colonoscopy. Although popular-science short videos can help people quickly access health information, the overall quality of such short videos as a source of health information regarding bowel preparation before colonoscopy is unclear. Therefore, we intend to conduct a cross-sectional study to investigate the quality of bowel preparation information before colonoscopy through short videos taken on TikTok and Bilibili.
The Chinese phrases "colonoscopy" and "bowel preparation" were used as keywords to search for and screen the top 100 videos in the comprehensive rankings on TikTok and Bilibili. The Global Quality Score (GQS) and the modified DISCERN score were used to assess the quality of the information provided in these short videos.
A total of 186 short videos were included in this study; 56.5% of them were posted by health professionals, whereas 43.5% of them were posted by nonhealth professionals. The overall quality of these videos was unsatisfactory, with a median DISCERN score of 3 (2-4) and a median GQS of 3 (3-4). The radar maps showed that videos posted by gastroenterologists had higher completeness scores regarding outcomes, management, and risk factors, while nongastroenterologists had higher completeness scores concerning adverse effects, symptoms, and definitions of bowel preparation. Additionally, the median DISCERN score and GQS of the videos posted by gastroenterologists were 3 (3-4) and 3 (3-4), respectively, whereas the quality of the videos posted by patients was the worst, with a median DISCERN score of 2 (1-2) and a median GQS of 2 (1.25-3).
In conclusion, the overall quality of health information-related videos on bowel preparation before colonoscopy posted on specified short video platforms was not satisfactory. Gastroenterologists provide more information on the outcomes, management, and risk factors for bowel preparation before colonoscopy, while nongastroenterologists focus on adverse effects, symptoms, and definitions of bowel preparation.
对于高质量的结肠镜检查，充分的肠道准备是前提，这与结肠镜检查的诊断准确性和治疗安全性密切相关。虽然科普短视频可以帮助人们快速获取健康信息，但作为结肠镜检查前肠道准备健康信息来源的短视频的整体质量尚不清楚。因此，我们拟通过在 TikTok 和 B 站检索并筛选排名靠前的 100 个短视频，进行一项横断面研究，以调查结肠镜检查前肠道准备信息的短视频质量。
以“结肠镜检查”和“肠道准备”作为关键词，在 TikTok 和 B 站的综合排名中搜索并筛选前 100 个视频。采用全球质量评分（GQS）和改良的 DISCERN 评分来评估这些短视频提供的信息质量。
本研究共纳入 186 个短视频，其中 56.5%由健康专业人士发布，43.5%由非健康专业人士发布。这些视频的整体质量不尽如人意，DISCERN 评分中位数为 3（2-4），GQS 中位数为 3（3-4）。雷达图显示，胃肠病学家发布的有关结局、处理和危险因素的视频在完整性方面得分更高，而非胃肠病学家在不良反应、症状和肠道准备定义方面的视频完整性得分更高。此外，胃肠病学家发布的视频的 DISCERN 评分中位数和 GQS 中位数分别为 3（3-4）和 3（3-4），而患者发布的视频质量最差，DISCERN 评分中位数为 2（1-2），GQS 中位数为 2（1.25-3）。
总之，指定短视频平台上发布的与结肠镜检查前肠道准备相关的健康信息短视频的整体质量不尽人意。胃肠病学家提供更多关于结肠镜检查前肠道准备的结局、处理和危险因素的信息，而非胃肠病学家则更关注不良反应、症状和肠道准备定义。
