背景:社交媒体微博服务Twitter作为一种快速有效的交流平台,在泌尿外科领域越来越受欢迎。我们评估了体积,主题,在Twitter平台上使用最近提出的泌尿外科标签本体标签列表进行泌尿外科相关讨论的影响者和内容。
方法:我们向SymplurSignals数据库查询了1年期间的推文活动。我们使用了泌尿外科标签本体标签列表,由9个泌尿外科亚专科的45个疾病相关标签组成,评估活动(推文的数量,用户和印象),用户(地理位置,影响者)和内容(单词,tweet增强)的泌尿科相关的Twitter流量。
结果:研究期间的Twitter活动包括104,166个用户的334,642条推文,印象为1,397,107,305。Tweet活动在泌尿外科亚专科之间有所不同,并且主要由#ProstateCancer驱动的泌尿外科肿瘤学主题主导。用户来自224个国家和全球各大洲。医疗保健组织占影响者的比例最大(44%),其次是其他个人(22%)和医生(13%)。最上面的单词是“预防”(使用了20,955次),“癌症”(19,610),“跟随”(19,169),“男性”(19,165)和“避孕套”(18,425)。前10名链接的股份数量中位数(范围)为2,200(1,414-8,854),2,123(1,878-2,737)的前10转发和207(12-438)的前10张照片。
结论:可以使用标准化的社交媒体通信描述符列表来评估泌尿外科领域的Twitter活动。泌尿外科领域的大量推文和印象突显了Twitter交流平台的价值。
BACKGROUND: The social media microblogging service Twitter is gaining popularity in the field of urology as a fast and effective communication platform. We assessed volume, subject matter, influencers and content of urology related discussions on the Twitter platform using the recently proposed Urology Tag Ontology hashtag list.
METHODS: We queried the Symplur Signals database for tweet activity during a 1-year period. We used the Urology Tag Ontology hashtag list, comprised of 45 disease related hashtags in 9 urological subspecialties, to assess activity (numbers of tweets, users and impressions), users (geolocation, influencers) and content (words, tweet enhancements) of urology related Twitter traffic.
RESULTS: Twitter activity during the study period included 334,642 tweets by 104,166 users with 1,397,107,305 impressions. Tweet activity varied among urological subspecialties and was largely dominated by urological oncology topics driven by #ProstateCancer. Users came from 224 countries and from all continents around the globe. Health care organizations accounted for the largest proportion of influencers (44%), followed by other individuals (22%) and physicians (13%). The top words were \"prevent\" (used 20,955 times), \"cancer\" (19,610), \"follow\" (19,169), \"men\" (19,165) and \"condom\" (18,425). The median (range) number of shares was 2,200 (1,414-8,854) for the top 10 links, 2,123 (1,878-2,737) for the top 10 retweets and 207 (12-438) for the top 10 photos.
CONCLUSIONS: Twitter activity in the field of urology can be assessed using a standardized list of social media communication descriptors. The value of the Twitter communication platform is underscored by the large number of tweets and impressions in the urology space.
