Quality analysis of YouTube videos in the management of hyperlipidemia in adults
Abstract
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the quality of video content about hyperlipidemia and its treatment on YouTube which is used as an information source.
Methods: This study has a cross-sectional design. A hundred videos were reviewed. Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, Global quality score (GQS), modified DISCERN and Hyperlipidemia YouTube Score (HYS) were used for the quality analysis of the videos. Video duration (minutes), time since upload (months), Number of views/comments/likes were analyzed.
Results: GQS was 1.58±0.94 for Turkish videos and 2.28±1.21 for English videos (p<0.001). mDISCERN, JAMA and HYS scores were higher in English videos (p<0.05). 62% of English videos and 80% of Turkish videos were of low quality.
Conclusion: The overall quality of information on hyperlipidemia and its treatment on YouTube remains poor. The establishment of a control institution for preventive medicine and the inclusion of videos on YouTube about health issues to raise public awareness on this subject will be beneficial for accessing accurate and reliable information.
