AB  - Background: YouTube, a widely popular video platform, is inviting due to its easy access, and the quality and reliability of the information are not questioned or monitored, allowing non-medical individuals to share medical information. Our aim is to examine the reliability, validity, and comprehensiveness of English videos available on YouTube regarding chondrosarcoma.Methods: In June 2024, a search for the term “chondrosarcoma” on YouTube was performed, and the top 50 most viewed videos ranked by relevance were evaluated. Videos were evaluated using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria and modified DISCERN criteria for YouTube. The coverage score regarding the diagnosis and treatment of chondrosarcoma in these videos was also evaluated.Results: The mean JAMA score was 1.32±1.11, modified DISCERN score was 2.18±1.02, and coverage score was 5.43±2.97. A moderate positive significant correlation was found between the JAMA and coverage scores (r=0.376, p=0.007), as well as between DISCERN and coverage scores (r=0.356, p=0.011) and between JAMA and DISCERN (r=0.539, p<0.001). Among the 50 videos examined, 26 were published by physicians, yet only 2 videos scored 4 points on the JAMA scoring. The mean coverage score for the 50 videos, rated out of 20 points, was only 5.43. No significant effect of whether the publisher was a physician on JAMA, DISCERN and coverage scores was found (p = 0.233, p = 0.690 and p = 1.000, respectively)Conclusions: English YouTube videos on chondrosarcoma fall below the ethical and quality standards needed. We believe that the observation of these low scores, especially from a predominantly physician publisher population, warrants particular attention.

N2  - Amaç:  Popüler bir video platformu olan YouTube, kolay erişilebilir olması ve bilgilerin kalitesi ve güvenilirliğinin sorgulanmaması veya izlenmemesi nedeniyle davetkardır ve tıbbi olmayan kişilerin tıbbi bilgileri paylaşmasına olanak tanır. Amacımız, kondrosarkom ile ilgili olarak YouTube'da bulunan İngilizce videoların güvenilirliğini, geçerliliğini ve kapsamlılığını incelemektir.Yöntemler: Haziran 2024'te YouTube'da "kondrosarkom" terimi için bir arama yapıldı ve alaka düzeyine göre sıralanan en çok izlenen ilk 50 video değerlendirildi. Videolar, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) kriterleri ve YouTube için değiştirilmiş DISCERN kriterleri kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bu videolarda kondrosarkom tanısı ve tedavisi ile ilgili kapsam puanı da değerlendirildi.Bulgular: JAMA ile kapsam puanları (r=0,376, p=0,007) arasında, DISCERN ile kapsam puanları (r=0,356, p=0,011) arasında ve JAMA ile DISCERN (r=0,539, p<0,001) arasında orta düzeyde pozitif anlamlı bir korelasyon bulundu. JAMA ile yayıncı (r=-0,299, p=0,035) arasında ve DISCERN ile yayıncı (r=-0,305, p=0,031) arasında düşük düzeyde negatif anlamlı bir korelasyon bulundu. İncelenen 50 videodan 26'sı hekimler tarafından yayınlanmış olmasına rağmen, sadece 2 video JAMA puanlamasında 4 puan aldı. 20 puan üzerinden derecelendirilen 50 videonun ortalama kapsam puanı sadece 5,43'tü.Sonuç: Kondrosarkom hakkındaki İngilizce YouTube videoları, gerekli etik ve kalite standartlarının altında kalmaktadır. Özellikle çoğunluğu hekimlerden oluşan bir yayıncı grubunda bu düşük puanların gözlemlenmesinin özel bir ilgiyi hak ettiğine inanıyoruz.
