Abstract
Purpose: To assess the coverage of information about early childhood caries (ECC) available on YouTube videos in three different languages, regarding technical characteristics of videos and interaction metrics.
Methods: Search strategies were developed in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to make a comprehensive collection of videos from YouTube, encompassing 60 samples for each language, regarding all video types. The videos were assessed by a thematic checklist regarding 17 items on ECC. Videos were dichotomized according to the median of the thematic score and the nature of their authorship (health and non-health authors) to compare groups. The statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (version 25.0), applying Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U test. P < 0.05 values were considered significant.
Results: Among 120 videos meeting inclusion criteria, ECC aetiology and prevention information proved incomplete, with a median score of 5 (Q1-Q3 = 3-7). No correlation emerged between this score and other video characteristics. However, interaction metrics like views, likes, dislikes, and viewing rates displayed significant correlations. Health authors primarily created these videos, yet non-health author channels had more subscribers. Surprisingly, videos focused on the impact of regular sugary food and beverage consumption on ECC progression received the most attention.
Conclusions: Videos that presented information about the aetiology and prevention of ECC invariably focused on partial aspects of the disease. This highlights the need for better-quality educational videos and the importance of dental professionals in guiding patients toward reliable sources of information.
目的:评估三种不同语言的YouTube视频中关于儿童早期龋齿(ECC)信息的覆盖率，包括视频的技术特征和互动指标。方法:使用英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语制定搜索策略，对YouTube上的视频进行全面收集，每种语言包含60个样本，涉及所有视频类型。这些录像是通过一个专题核对表评估的，其中包括17个关于环保的项目。根据主题得分的中位数和作者的性质(健康和非健康作者)对视频进行二分类，以比较各组。统计分析采用statistical Package for Social Science (version 25.0)，采用Spearman’s秩相关系数和Mann-Whitney U检验。P结果:在符合纳入标准的120个视频中，ECC病因学和预防信息不完整，中位得分为5分(Q1-Q3 = 3-7)。这个分数和其他视频特征之间没有相关性。然而，像浏览量、喜欢、不喜欢和观看率这样的交互指标显示了显著的相关性。这些视频主要是由健康作者制作的，而非健康作者频道的订阅者更多。令人惊讶的是，关注经常食用含糖食物和饮料对ECC进展影响的视频得到了最多的关注。结论:介绍ECC病因和预防信息的视频总是集中在疾病的部分方面。这突出了对高质量教育视频的需求，以及牙科专业人员在引导患者获得可靠信息来源方面的重要性。
期刊介绍：
The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
