Abstract

Background: Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is commonly performed on adolescent athletes, who often turn to online sources such as YouTube for health information. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review the accuracy, reliability, and quality of UCLR videos using validated scoring instruments.

Methods: YouTube was queried for "Tommy John surgery," "UCL reconstruction," and "ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction." After categorization by physician, nonphysician/trainer, patient or commercial source, videos were assessed for reliability and quality using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria (0-4) and DISCERN tool (16-80).

Results: 104 videos were included in the final analysis. 74% of videos (77/104) were made by physicians. The mean JAMA and DISCERN scores for all videos were 3.1 ± 0.8 and 46.1 ± 8.5, respectively. The majority of videos were rated as "fair" based on DISCERN score (56/104, 53.8%). JAMA scores were significantly higher for physician videos compared to nonphysician videos (3.3 ± 0.8 vs 2.6 ± 0.7, p < 0.0001), but no such difference was found for DISCERN scores (46.3 ± 7.7 vs 45.3 ± 10.57, p = 0.43).

Conclusion: Physicians should be cognizant of the quality and reliability of YouTube videos when instructing patients on information sources related to UCLR.

YouTube上关于尺侧副韧带重建的视频在可靠性和质量方面变化很大:一项定量分析。

背景:尺侧副韧带重建(UCLR)通常用于青少年运动员，他们经常转向在线资源，如YouTube获取健康信息。本研究的目的是回顾性评价使用经过验证的评分工具的UCLR视频的准确性、可靠性和质量。方法:在YouTube上查询“Tommy John手术”、“UCL重建”和“尺侧副韧带重建”。在按医生、非医生/培训师、患者或商业来源进行分类后，使用美国医学会杂志(JAMA)基准标准(0-4)和DISCERN工具(16-80)评估视频的可靠性和质量。结果:104个视频纳入最终分析。74%的视频(77/104)由医生制作。所有视频的JAMA和DISCERN评分平均值分别为3.1±0.8和46.1±8.5。根据DISCERN评分，大多数视频被评为“一般”(56/104,53.8%)。医师视频的JAMA评分明显高于非医师视频(3.3±0.8 vs 2.6±0.7,p p = 0.43)。结论:医生在指导患者了解与UCLR相关的信息来源时，应认识到YouTube视频的质量和可靠性。
