Premature ejaculation (PE) is among the most commonly reported types of sexual dysfunction both globally and in China. Despite the growing popularity of online healthcare services and the greater availability of information in mainland China, there is a pressing need to assess the quality and reliability of PE-related content available online and address the potential impact of online misinformation. Thus, in this study, we assessed the quality of information regarding PE videos on the top video websites in China.
The top 10 video platforms in mainland China were searched using PE-related keywords for videos published as of July 2023. All available videos were examined for eligibility and reliability, and two reviewers independently evaluated the videos using Global Quality Score (GQS) scores for quality and DISCERN tools for their content reliability. All data were analyzed with SPSS software (IBM Corp.).
Information on sexual medicine content related to PE was found to be available on just seven of the websites examined. From the 1,468 videos initially retrieved, 582 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 319 videos (54.81%) were deemed reliable, while 263 (45.19%) were classified as unreliable. The agreement between the two urologists reviewing the videos and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were deemed acceptable. There were significant differences in the quality, reliability, source, presentation format, and themes of the videos.
The quality of resources on Chinese video platforms varies widely. Users seeking PE-related information should carefully select the appropriate platforms and opt for higher-quality videos. The existing participation of professional medical personnel was seen as insufficient, and joint efforts are needed to implement content review and the establishment of an evaluation framework.
早泄（PE）是全球和中国最常报告的性功能障碍类型之一。尽管中国大陆在线医疗服务越来越普及，信息获取也更加便捷，但迫切需要评估网上早泄相关内容的质量和可靠性，并应对网上错误信息的潜在影响。因此，在本研究中，我们评估了中国顶级视频网站上早泄相关视频的信息质量。
使用与早泄相关的关键词在中国大陆排名前十的视频平台上搜索截至2023年7月发布的视频。检查所有可用视频的合格性和可靠性，两名评审员使用全球质量评分（GQS）评估视频质量，使用DISCERN工具评估内容可靠性。所有数据均使用SPSS软件（IBM公司）进行分析。
在所检查的网站中，只有七个网站提供了与早泄相关的性医学内容。从最初检索到的1468个视频中，有582个符合纳入标准。其中，319个视频（54.81%）被认为可靠，263个（45.19%）被归类为不可靠。两位泌尿外科医生对视频的评估一致性和组内相关系数（ICC）被认为是可接受的。视频在质量、可靠性、来源、呈现形式和主题方面存在显著差异。
中国视频平台上的资源质量差异很大。寻求早泄相关信息的用户应仔细选择合适的平台，并选择质量更高的视频。目前专业医务人员的参与度不足，需要共同努力进行内容审核并建立评估框架。
