Popular video-sharing platforms YouTube and TikTok offer a plethora of information on the topic of breast implant illness (BII). As a largely patient-driven phenomenon, it is important to understand the influence of social media on patient knowledge regarding BII. This study sought to evaluate the quality, reliability, visibility, and popularity of YouTube and TikTok videos about BII. Two validated tools for health information, DISCERN and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT), were utilized to evaluate the quality of information regarding the topic of BII on YouTube and TikTok. High DISCERN score indicates content of superior quality and reliability, while elevated PEMAT scores signify content that is easily understandable and actionable for viewers. The search phrase "breast implant illness" was used to screen videos, which were sorted based on relevance and view count. The first 100 videos that fulfilled inclusion criteria were independently graded by three reviewers. TikTok videos of longer duration, a higher number of shares, and in the patient education category were all significantly associated with a higher total DISCERN score ( < 0.05). YouTube videos that included a provider or a patient were significantly more likely to have a higher total DISCERN and PEMAT understandability score (all < 0.05). Discussion of physician education, operation details, and patient experience was significantly associated with higher total DISCERN and PEMAT understandability scores (all < 0.05). Total DISCERN and PEMAT scores for videos regarding BII on two popular social media platforms are low. Video length, patient experience categorization, and the presence of a provider are worth considering when developing high-quality online content for breast reconstruction and augmentation patients.
热门视频分享平台YouTube和TikTok提供了大量关于隆胸疾病（BII）的信息。作为一种主要由患者推动的现象，了解社交媒体对患者有关BII知识的影响很重要。本研究旨在评估YouTube和TikTok上关于BII的视频的质量、可靠性、可见性和受欢迎程度。使用两种经过验证的健康信息工具，即DISCERN和患者教育材料评估工具（PEMAT），来评估YouTube和TikTok上有关BII主题的信息质量。DISCERN得分高表明内容质量和可靠性高，而PEMAT得分高则表示内容对观众来说易于理解且可采取行动。搜索短语“隆胸疾病”用于筛选视频，并根据相关性和观看次数进行排序。前100个符合纳入标准的视频由三位评审员独立评分。时长较长、分享次数较多且属于患者教育类别的TikTok视频都与更高的DISCERN总分显著相关（<0.05）。包含医疗服务提供者或患者的YouTube视频更有可能获得更高的DISCERN总分和PEMAT可理解性得分（均<0.05）。对医生教育、手术细节和患者体验的讨论与更高的DISCERN总分和PEMAT可理解性得分显著相关（均<0.05）。两个热门社交媒体平台上关于BII的视频的DISCERN和PEMAT总分较低。在为乳房重建和隆胸患者开发高质量在线内容时，视频长度、患者体验分类以及医疗服务提供者的参与值得考虑。
