Abstract：
Background and objective Intragastric botulinum toxin (Botox) applications have emerged as a novel endoscopic intervention method to treat obesity. YouTube stands out as one of the primary online platforms frequently utilized for accessing health-related information. In light of this, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of informational videos about gastric Botox on YouTube. Materials and methods In July 2023, a comprehensive evaluation of gastric Botox information videos on YouTube was conducted by querying \"Gastric Botox\" on YouTube. A total of 70 videos were initially reviewed and 48 videos were meticulously analyzed by a general surgeon. Videos were categorized based on their sources and attributes and evaluated using standard scales like the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, modified DISCERN, and the Global Quality Scale (GQS). Results A total of 48 videos were assessed. Of these, 2.1% originated from academic institutions, 20.8% from private hospitals/organizations, and 52.1% from physicians. Videos by other healthcare professionals accounted for 2.1%, health information websites 12.5%, and independent users 10.4%. Video durations varied significantly across sources (p<0.001). Independent user videos had the highest likes/views. JAMA scores (p=0.009) and DISCERN scores (p=0.045) showed significant differences among sources. Academic institution videos had a median JAMA score of 4; independent users scored 1. As for DISCERN, academic videos scored the highest at 5, while independent users scored the lowest at 1.8. Conclusions YouTube is filled with healthcare information videos today. Although the quality and reliability scores based on conventional assessment methods might be moderate, we advise utilizing videos from academic institutions and reputable health information websites as primary sources to educate patients about gastric Botox.
摘要：
背景与目的胃内肉毒杆菌毒素（Botox）的应用已成为一种新型的内镜干预方法来治疗肥胖。YouTube是经常用于访问健康相关信息的主要在线平台之一。鉴于此,这项研究旨在评估YouTube上有关胃肉毒杆菌的信息视频的准确性和可靠性。材料与方法2023年7月,通过在YouTube上查询\"胃肉毒杆菌\",对YouTube上的胃肉毒杆菌信息视频进行综合评价。最初共审查了70个视频，普通外科医生对48个视频进行了仔细分析。视频根据其来源和属性进行分类，并使用标准量表进行评估，例如《美国医学会杂志》（JAMA）评分，修改后的DISCERN，和全球质量量表(GQS)。结果共评估了48个视频。其中,2.1%来自学术机构，20.8%来自私立医院/机构,52.1%来自医生。其他医疗保健专业人员的视频占2.1％，健康信息网站12.5%，和独立用户10.4%。不同来源的视频持续时间显著不同(p<0.001)。独立用户视频的喜欢/观看次数最高。JAMA评分（p=0.009）和DISCERN评分（p=0.045）显示出来源之间的显着差异。学术机构视频的JAMA中位数为4分；独立用户得分为1分。至于DISCERN,学术视频得分最高，为5，而独立用户得分最低，为1.8。结论YouTube今天充满了医疗保健信息视频。尽管基于常规评估方法的质量和可靠性评分可能是中等的，我们建议利用来自学术机构和知名健康信息网站的视频作为主要来源，对患者进行关于胃肉毒杆菌毒素的教育。
