Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on pediatric urological diseases (PUD).
Methods: This study was performed between 1 August - 7 August 2023. Turkish YouTube videos related to 'paediatric urology', 'circumcision', 'undescended testis', 'phimosis', 'hypospadias', 'vesicoureteral reflux', 'nocturnal enuresis' and 'testicular torsion' were evaluated. The videos were divided into professional (doctor, nurse, hospital, etc.) and non-professional (patient, patient relatives, news, etc.) according to the uploading source. Video characteristics (number of views, video length, likes, dislikes and comments) were compared between the groups. Video quality was assessed with DISCERN and Global Quality Score (GQS).
Results: A total of 498 videos, 312 professional videos and 186 non-professional videos, were included in the study. The number of views and likes were statistically significantly higher in the professional video group than in the non-professional video group (p=0.001 for both parameters). Mean DISCERN score and GQS score were significantly higher in the professional group than in the non-professional group (p=0.001, and p=0.001; respectively).
Conclusion: Professional videos about PUD had significantly higher quality and reliability according to DISCERN score and GQS. Moreover, YouTube videos uploaded by professional health care providers had significantly higher ‘view’ number, and ‘like’ number.
