Do The Videos on Social Media About Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery Provide Quality Information?

Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the quality of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery videos published on YouTube. Material and Method: A search was made by entering the keywords ‘percutaneous nephrolithotomy' in the youtube search engine. Video quality was measured using the Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark Score (JAMAS), Global Quality Score (GQS) and modified DISCERN score. Two reviewers developed the PCNL Specific Score (PCNLSS) to estimate the technical quality for every stages of surgery. Video power index (VPI) was used to determine video popularity. Results: One hundred and thirteen videos had the inclusion criteria were counted in the study. The median VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores were 3.01, 1, 2, 2 and 4, respectively. Videos with audio narration had significantly higher VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores (p=0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). Videos with english subtitle had higher JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores than videos with no subtitle (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). Academical videos had higher VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores than the videos published by urologists (p=0.004, p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.006 respectively). Conclusion: In this study, it was seen that the quality of PCNL videos published on social media was insufficient. It should be accepted that social media is frequently used as a source of information today. For this reason, health care professionals should take initiatives through social media to inform patients more accurately.
