Abstract

Objectives: A significant number of videos that provide information about deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are available on YouTube, and the quality of these videos has not been evaluated; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the quality of these videos. Materials and methods: The terms “deep vein thrombosis,” “deep venous thrombosis,” and “DVT” were searched on YouTube. The quality of each video was evaluated by three independent vascular surgeons according to the DISCERN score, Journal of the American Medical Association score, and DVT patient information score. Interrater agreement was ascertained. Results: The mean total DISCERN score and mean DVT patient information score of all the videos were 38.2±12.9 and 5.0±3.4, respectively. According to the DVT patient information scoring system, eight (9.3%) videos were categorized as very useful, 37 (43.0%) as moderately useful, and 41 (47.7%) as poor. Conclusion: The educational quality of YouTube videos on DVT must be enhanced.
