■肠易激综合征(IBS)是一种功能性胃肠病(FGID),临床表现不均匀。它的诊断没有明确的检测参数,IBS的复杂病理生理学和医生必须与患者在一起的时间有限,这使得在门诊环境中对患者进行充分的教育变得困难。对IBS的认识提高意味着患者更有可能根据自己的症状进行自我诊断和自我管理IBS。这些因素可能使患者更有可能转向互联网资源。维基百科是英语用户中最受欢迎的在线百科全书,有许多验证。然而,在讲普通话的地区,最常用的就是百度百科。没有关于可靠性的研究,可读性,以及两个网站上IBS信息的客观性。这是一个紧迫的问题,因为大约有14.5亿人访问这些平台。
■我们比较了维基百科(英文)和百度百科(中文)上的IBS内容,两个在线百科全书,在可靠性方面,可读性,和客观性。
■根据罗马IVIBS定义和诊断对百度百科全书(中文)和维基百科(英文)进行了评估。筛选并鉴定IBS和IBS相关FGID的所有可能的同义词和衍生物。两名胃肠病学专家使用DISCERN仪器评估了两个站点的文章得分,美国医学会评分系统杂志(JAMA),和全球质量评分(GQS)。
■维基百科在DISCERN的整体得分较高(p<0.0001),JAMA(p<.0001)和GQS(p<.05)比百度百科全书。具体来说,维基百科在DISCERN第1节中得分较高(p<0.0001),否认第2节(p<.01),否认第3节(p<.001),和一般DISCERN评分(p<.0001)比百度百科。两个站点的DISCERN第2部分得分较低(p=.18)。维基百科在总成绩中也有更大比例的高质量分数,第1节和第3节(分别为p<.0001,P<.0001,P<.0004,根据上述3条(60%)规则)。
■维基百科提供了更可靠的,更高质量,与IBS相关的健康信息比百度百科更客观。然而,这两个网站的信息质量都应该提高。医疗专业人员和机构应与这些在线平台合作,为IBS提供更好的健康信息。
UNASSIGNED: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) with heterogeneous clinical presentations. There are no clear testing parameters for its diagnosis, and the complex pathophysiology of IBS and the limited time that doctors have to spend with patients makes it difficult to adequately educate patients in the outpatient setting. An increased awareness of IBS means that patients are more likely to self-diagnose and self-manage IBS based on their own symptoms. These factors may make patients more likely to turn to Internet resources. Wikipedia is the most popular online encyclopedia among English-speaking users, with numerous validations. However, in Mandarin-speaking regions, the Baidu Encyclopedia is most commonly used. There have been no studies on the reliability, readability, and objectivity of IBS information on the two sites. This is an urgent issue as these platforms are accessed by approximately 1.45 billion people.
UNASSIGNED: We compared the IBS content on Wikipedia (in English) and Baidu Baike (in Chinese), two online encyclopedias, in terms of reliability, readability, and objectivity.
UNASSIGNED: The Baidu Encyclopedia (in Chinese) and Wikipedia (in English) were evaluated based on the Rome IV IBS definitions and diagnoses. All possible synonyms and derivatives for IBS and IBS-related FGIDs were screened and identified. Two gastroenterology experts evaluated the scores of articles for both sites using the DISCERN instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association scoring system (JAMA), and the Global Quality Score (GQS).
UNASSIGNED: Wikipedia scored higher overall with DISCERN (p < .0001), JAMA (p < .0001) and GQS (p < .05) than the Baidu Encyclopedia. Specifically, Wikipedia scored higher in DISCERN Section 1 (p < .0001), DISCERN Section 2 (p < .01), DISCERN Section 3 (p < .001), and the General DISCERN score (p < .0001) than the Baidu Encyclopedia. Both sites had low DISCERN Section 2 scores (p = .18). Wikipedia also had a larger percentage of high quality scores in total DISCERN, DISCERN Section 1, and DISCERN Section 3 (p < .0001, P < .0001, P < .0004, respectively, based on the above 3 (60%) rule).
UNASSIGNED: Wikipedia provides more reliable, higher quality, and more objective IBS-related health information than the Baidu Encyclopedia. However, there should be improvements in the information quality for both sites. Medical professionals and institutions should collaborate with these online platforms to offer better health information for IBS.
