The usefulness, reliability, and quality of YouTube video clips on congenital muscular torticollis : a STROBE compliant study

초록/요약

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness, reliability, quality, and related characteristics of YouTube video clips on congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 47 YouTube video clips on CMT. They were classified as either useful or misleading by two rehabilitation doctors. The modified DISCERN tool and the Global Quality Scale (GQS) were used to evaluate their reliability and quality. An analysis was conducted using the characteristics, such as presenters, ownership of YouTube channel accounts, countries, contents, and the video popularity. Results: Of the 47 YouTube video clips, eight (17%) were evaluated as misleading, which indicated that they included at least one scientifically unproven piece of information on CMT or more. They were less reliable and of lower quality than the useful video clips. The video clips presented by healthcare professionals were more useful compared to those presented by others (p = .015). However, the video popularity was not related to its usefulness. The reliability and quality (3.70 ± 0.82 vs. 0.75 ± 0.50 and 2.95 ± 1.21 vs. 1.50 ± 1.00) assessed by the modified DISCERN tool and GQS, respectively, were significantly higher in the video clips presented by healthcare professionals compared to those presented by others. Discussion: There were misleading YouTube video clips on CMT. Video clips presented by healthcare professionals could be more useful, reliable, and of better quality. The popularity of the video clips does not indicate more usefulness, reliability, and better quality. YouTube viewers should be aware of these findings. We recommend that the viewers preferentially choose video clips on CMT presented by healthcare professionals, not by the video popularity.
