Ultrason Rehberliğinde Yapılan Meme Biopsi Hakkında Youtube Videoları Yararlı ve Güvenilir Mi?

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and quality of YouTube videos on ultrasound-guided breast biopsy (UGBB) for patients. Materials and Methods: A video search was undertaken on YouTube on Aug 14, 2020 using the keywords, ‘breast biopsy’, ‘ultrasound-guided core biopsy’, ‘breast ultrasound’, and ‘breast biopsy ultrasound’. Top 100 videos were selected using each keyword (total 400 videos). After applying the exclusion criteria, 51 videos were evaluated by two researchers based on the patient information form of the American Cancer Society and American College of Radiology. According to these criteria, the videos were divided into four categories as very useful, useful, slightly useful, and not useful. Video parameters were compared between the groups by the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: Of the 51 videos analyzed, 13.7% (n=7) were very useful, and 41.2% (n=21) were useful. Of the very useful videos, 85.7% (n=6) had been uploaded by physicians/hospitals. The DISCERN reliability score was significantly higher in very useful videos (median: 4, range: 2-5, p < 0.001). The length and number of likes and comments were significantly higher for the videos uploaded by civilian individuals (p=0.005, p=0.046, and p=0.013, respectively). Not useful and very useful videos were significantly longer (p = 0.01) Conclusion: Although the primary sources of high-quality and very useful YouTube videos about UGBB were physicians/hospital, a significant portion of low-quality videos had also been uploaded by this group. Thus, medical professionals should take care to upload well-informed videos.
