Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Healthcare-associated infections have a significant impact on public health, and many patients and their next-of-kin are seeking information on the internet. The study aimed to assess the quality of online written content about healthcare-associated infections available in English, Romanian, and Hungarian languages.
UNASSIGNED: The study sample included 75 websites, 25 for each language subgroup. The assessment involved examining the general characteristics, adherence to established credibility criteria, and the completeness and accuracy of informational content. The evaluation was conducted using a topic-specific, evidence-based benchmark. Two evaluators independently graded completeness and accuracy; scores were recorded on a scale from 0 to 10. A comparative analysis of websites was performed, considering pertinent characteristics, and potential factors influencing information quality were subjected to testing. The statistical significance was set at 0.05.
UNASSIGNED: For the overall study sample, the average credibility, completeness, and accuracy scores were 5.1 (SD 1.7), 2.4 (SD 1.5), and 5.9 (SD 1.0), respectively. Pairwise comparison tests revealed that English websites rated significantly higher than Romanian and Hungarian websites on all three quality measures (P<0.05). Website specialization, ownership, and main goal were not associated with credibility or content ratings. However, conventional medicine websites consistently scored higher than alternative medicine and other websites across all three information quality measures (P<0.05). Credibility scores were positively but weakly correlated with completeness (rho=0.273; P=0.0176) and accuracy scores (rho=0.365; P=0.0016).
UNASSIGNED: The overall quality ratings of information about healthcare-associated infections on English, Romanian, and Hungarian websites ranged from intermediate to low. The description of information regarding the symptoms and prevention of healthcare-associated infections was notably unsatisfactory. The study identified website characteristics possibly associated with higher-quality online sources about healthcare-associated infections, but additional research is needed to establish robust evidence.

摘要：
■医疗相关感染对公众健康有重大影响，许多患者及其近亲正在互联网上寻求信息。该研究旨在评估以英语提供的有关医疗保健相关感染的在线书面内容的质量，罗马尼亚语,和匈牙利语。
■研究样本包括75个网站，每个语言子组25。评估包括检查一般特征，遵守既定的信誉标准，以及信息内容的完整性和准确性。评估是使用特定主题进行的，基于证据的基准。两名评估者独立地对完整性和准确性进行分级;以0至10的量表记录得分。对网站进行了比较分析，考虑到相关特征，并对影响信息质量的潜在因素进行了测试。统计学意义设定为0.05。
■对于整个研究样本，平均可信度，完整性，准确性评分为5.1（SD1.7），2.4（SD1.5），和5.9（SD1.0），分别。配对比较测试显示，在所有三个质量指标上，英语网站的评分均显着高于罗马尼亚和匈牙利网站（P<0.05）。网站专业化，所有权,和主要目标与可信度或内容评级无关。然而,在所有三个信息质量指标中，常规医学网站的得分始终高于替代医学和其他网站（P<0.05）。可信度评分与完整性（rho=0.273；P=0.0176）和准确性评分（rho=0.365；P=0.0016）呈正相关，但弱相关。
■关于医疗保健相关感染信息的总体质量评级，罗马尼亚语,匈牙利网站从中级到低级不等。关于医疗保健相关感染的症状和预防的信息描述明显不令人满意。该研究确定了可能与有关医疗保健相关感染的高质量在线资源相关的网站特征，但需要更多的研究来建立有力的证据.
