Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the overall quality of the information in YouTube™
videos about prostate MRI-guided biopsy and whether it describes the procedure.
Material and Methods: The terms " MRI-guided biopsy of the prostate" and "MRI targeted prostate biopsy"
were searched on YouTube. The first 118 videos of the results were selected, and the written information
of the British Association of Urological Surgeons for transrectal ultrasound-guided MRI fusion biopsy was
performed. For MRI-guided prostate biopsy, four more questions were added to the MRI-guided prostate
biopsy criteria and reviewed by two authors.. The reliability and quality of the content of these videos included
in the study were evaluated using JAMA and GQS scores.
Results: A total of 118 videos were reviewed; 3 videos were rated "excellent" and 56 videos were rated
"very poor". 91 of the videos (77%) were prepared for physicians, and the remaining videos were prepared
by non-physicians. The average duration of the videos was 9.8 minutes, and the average number of daily
views was 14.3. The number of views varied between 19 and 710,399 (average: 21). While the average of
likes was 62.5, the average of comments was 4.3. The average number of views was 4.3. The score was
found to be 3.54 ± 0.5 out of 5. The GQS average was calculated as 4.42 ± 0.56 out of 5. When the videos
uploaded by physicians and non-physicians were compared, no statistically significant difference was found
in terms of the average duration of the videos, JAMA scores, or number of comments. The number of daily
views, number of likes, total number of views, GQS, and scoring criteria were statistically higher in the videos
prepared by non-physicians.
Conclusion: Information about MRI-guided prostate biopsies on YouTube is not of a high enough standard to
allow patients to make informed decisions. Therefore, healthcare professionals must produce high-quality,
informative, patient-focused medical YouTube videos.
