Are YouTube™ Videos Useful for Patients? An Evaluation of YouTube™ Videos on Zygomatic Implants

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of information provided by YouTube™ videos on zygomatic implants. Material and Method: YouTube™ videos were searched using the keyword "Zygomatic implants". The first 200 videos were analyzed. After exclusion, the remaining 94 videos were independently analyzed by two investigators for demographic characteristics and content usefulness. All videos were rated as poor, fair, or excellent based on a usefulness score that assessed the quality and flow of the content. Overall video ratings included duration, views, likes, dislikes, and comments. Video content was analyzed using an 8-point scoring list. All videos were categorized according to their source. Categorical data were analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared test. For non-normally distributed data, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for between-group comparisons, and post-hoc Dunn's test was used for multiple comparisons. The significance level was set at p<0.050. Results: Analysis of the video upload locations showed that the highest rate was from the USA (51.1%), followed by India (21.3%) and Spain (5.3%). Regarding the source of the uploaded videos, 11.7% were educational videos produced by doctors, 54.2% were patient information videos, and 34% were promotional videos. There was a statistically significant difference in the median number of views, likes, and dislikes depending on the source of the video upload (p<0.001), but no statistically significant difference was found in other video parameters. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should evaluate YouTube™ videos on zygomatic implants for clinical accuracy and content quality, and recommend videos to patients that meet professional standards and achieve the intended educational goals.
