Abstract

Objective: No studies describe what patients search for online in relation to retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction (RCPD). Our objectives were to describe the Google search volume for RCPD, identify the most common queries related to RCPD, and evaluate the available online resources.

Study design: Observational.

Setting: Google Database.

Methods: Using Ahrefs and Search Response, Google search volume for RCPD and "People Also Ask" (PAA) questions were documented. PAA questions were categorized based on intent, and the websites were categorized on source. The quality and readability of the sources were determined using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, Flesch Reading Ease score, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level.

Results: Search volume for RCPD-related content has continually increased since 2021, with a combined average volume of 6287 searches per month. Most PAA questions were related to technical details (61.07%) and treatments (32.06%) for RCPD. Websites provided to answer these questions were most often from academic (25.95%) and commercial (22.14%) sources. None of the sources met the criteria for universal readability, and only 15% met all quality metrics set forth by JAMA.

Conclusion: Interest in RCPD is at an all-time high, with information related to its diagnosis and treatment most popular among Google users. Significantly, none of the resources provided by Google met the criteria for universal readability, preventing many patients from fully comprehending the information presented. Future work should aim to address questions related to RCPD in a suitable way for all patient demographics.

逆行性环咽功能障碍：谷歌搜索分析。

目的：没有研究描述患者在网上搜索与逆行性环咽功能障碍（RCPD）相关的内容。我们的目标是描述逆行性环咽功能障碍的谷歌搜索量，确定与逆行性环咽功能障碍相关的最常见查询，并评估可用的在线资源：研究设计：观察性：谷歌数据库：使用 Ahrefs 和 Search Response，记录了 RCPD 的谷歌搜索量和 "People Also Ask"（PAA）问题。根据意图对 PAA 问题进行分类，并根据来源对网站进行分类。使用《美国医学会杂志》（JAMA）基准标准、Flesch 阅读轻松度评分和 Flesch-Kincaid 等级来确定来源的质量和可读性：自 2021 年以来，RCPD 相关内容的搜索量持续上升，合并平均搜索量为每月 6287 次。大多数 PAA 问题与 RCPD 的技术细节（61.07%）和治疗方法（32.06%）有关。为回答这些问题而提供的网站通常来自学术界（25.95%）和商业界（22.14%）。没有一个来源符合通用可读性标准，只有 15%符合《美国医学会杂志》规定的所有质量指标：结论：谷歌用户对 RCPD 的兴趣空前高涨，与诊断和治疗相关的信息最受欢迎。值得注意的是，谷歌提供的所有资源都不符合通用可读性标准，导致许多患者无法完全理解所提供的信息。未来的工作应着眼于以适合所有患者人群的方式解决与 RCPD 相关的问题。
