Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Internet-based medical education plays a crucial role in bolstering public health awareness and the competence of medical professionals; however, it must be dependable. We aimed to examine the quality and reliability of the videos uploaded to YouTube (YouTube, LLC, San Bruno, California, United States) by professional healthcare professionals about scoliosis from 2014 to 2023.
METHODS: The study was performed between August 1 and August 15, 2023. The keywords \'scoliosis\', \'scoliosis-kyphosis brace\', \'scoliosis exercises\', \'scoliosis surgeries\', and \'scoliosis-kyphosis exercises\' were searched on YouTube. Only YouTube videos uploaded by healthcare professionals between January 1, 2014, and July 31, 2023, and only videos in the English language were examined. Video characteristics were evaluated and recorded for all videos. The quality and reliability of videos were assessed with two different questionnaire scales including the modified DISCERN score and the Global Quality Score (GQS).
RESULTS: The mean number of views per video was 3778 in videos uploaded between 2014 and 2018, and 3120 in videos uploaded between 2019 and 2023 (p= 0.004). Video length and number of likes were statistically significantly lower in the videos of the last five years (p=0.001, and p=0.001). Thirty-one percent of the professional videos uploaded between 2014 and 2018 were directed at healthcare professionals. This rate was 12% in the last five years and was statistically significantly lower (p=0.001). The DISCERN score average was 3.7 between 2014 and 2018 and it was 3.2 between 2019 and 2023 (p=0.001). Similarly, the mean GQS was statistically significantly higher in the last five years compared to the five years prior (3.8 vs. 3.3, p=0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The present study determined that the quality and reliability of YouTube videos about scoliosis significantly increased in the last five years compared to the previous five years with a significant decrease in video duration. Also, among videos uploaded in the last five years, the number of videos for the patient was significantly higher. In contrast, the \'like\' and \'view\' numbers were significantly lower in YouTube videos about scoliosis in the last five years.

摘要：
背景：基于互联网的医学教育在提高公共卫生意识和医疗专业人员的能力方面发挥着至关重要的作用；然而，它必须是可靠的。我们旨在检查上传到YouTube的视频的质量和可靠性(YouTube，LLC,圣布鲁诺,加州,美国）由专业医疗保健专业人员从2014年到2023年的脊柱侧弯。
方法：该研究于2023年8月1日至8月15日进行。关键词\'脊柱侧弯\',\'脊柱侧凸-后凸支具\',\'脊柱侧弯练习\',\'脊柱侧弯手术\',和“脊柱侧凸-后凸运动”在YouTube上搜索。仅检查了医疗专业人员在2014年1月1日至2023年7月31日之间上传的YouTube视频，并且仅检查了英语视频。评估并记录所有视频的视频特征。使用两种不同的问卷量表评估视频的质量和可靠性，包括改良的DISCERN评分和全球质量评分（GQS）。
结果：在2014年至2018年之间上传的视频中，每个视频的平均观看次数为3778，在2019年至2023年之间上传的视频中为3120（p=0.004）。在过去五年的视频中，视频长度和喜欢次数在统计学上显着降低（p=0.001，p=0.001）。2014年至2018年之间上传的专业视频中有31％是针对医疗保健专业人员的。在过去的五年中，该比率为12％，并且在统计学上显着降低（p=0.001）。在2014年至2018年期间，DISCERN平均得分为3.7，在2019年至2023年期间为3.2（p=0.001）。同样，过去五年的平均GQS在统计学上显着高于前五年（3.8vs.3.3，p=0.001）。
结论：本研究确定，与过去五年相比，过去五年中有关脊柱侧凸的YouTube视频的质量和可靠性显着提高，视频持续时间显着降低。此外，在过去五年上传的视频中，患者的视频数量明显更高.相比之下,在过去五年中，YouTube视频中有关脊柱侧弯的\'like\'和\'view\'数字明显较低。
