Abstract
Objective: This study intends to objectively review the quality and reliability of laser photocoagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) videos on the YouTube® platform in terms of integrity and educational value for patients and medical professionals. Methods: YouTube® (http://www.youtube.com) search was performed for videos pertaining to fetal laser surgery in TTTS, using the terms fetoscopic laser ablation or/and fetoscopic laser surgery or/and fetoscopic laser twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. A total of 42 videos were analyzed. Video sources were categorized as follows: INDIVIDUAL, ACADEMIC INSTITUTION, and COMMERCIAL. Source of videos, time since upload (days), total duration of videos (seconds), total views, and likes were recorded. Video power index (VPI) was used to report video popularity. Educational quality and integrity were reviewed using the DISCERN, JAMA, GQS, and a novel YouTube® TTTS content - integrity score (TTTS-IS). Results: The mean duration was 336.43±351.8 seconds, and the total views were 172.076±82.6. Surgical risks were stated only in 33% of videos, and the success rate of surgery was mentioned in 35%. In all groups, the median value of DISCERN scores is 32.50, 42, and 26, which refers to poor, fair, and very poor quality, respectively. Videos uploaded by an academic institution had statistically insignificant DISCERN and JAMA scores along with lower GQS and TTTS-IS (p>0.05). In regards to the video source, academic institutions were prominent (47.6%), and the most popularized videos were conducted by commercial websites and individuals related to VPI. The VPI was poorly correlated with all scoring systems. Negative correlations were detected between total views and JAMA scores and positive correlations were determined with the GQS and TTTS-IS. Conclusion: Despite having VPI score highly in each group, YouTube® provides low-quality videos regarding fetal laser surgery of TTTS. There is an urgent need to regulate the context of those videos according to medical guidelines.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çal›flma, hastalar ve t›p uzmanlar› için do¤ruluk ve e¤itim de¤eri bak›m›ndan YouTube® platformundaki ikizden ikize transfüzyon sendromu (TTTS) videolar› için lazer fotokoagülasyonun kalitesini ve güvenilirli¤ini objektif flekilde incelemeyi amaçlamaktad›r. Yöntem: TTTS’de fetal lazer cerrahisi ile ilgili videolar için fetoskopik lazer ablasyon ve/veya fetoskopik lazer cerrahisi ve/veya fetoskopik lazer ikizden ikize transfüzyon sendromu terimleri kullan›larak YouTube ® (http://www.youtube.com) platformunda arama yap›ld›. Toplam 42 video analiz edildi. Video kaynaklar› flu kategorilere ayr›ld›: K‹fi‹- SEL, AKADEM‹K KURULUfi ve T‹CAR‹. Video kaynaklar›, yükleme tarihinden itibaren geçen zaman (gün), videolar›n toplam süresi (saniye), toplam izleme say›s› ve be¤eni say›s› kaydedildi. Video popülerli¤ ini raporlamak için video güç indeksi (VPI) kullan›ld›. DISCERN, JAMA, GQS ve yeni bir YouTube® TTTS içeri¤i - do¤ruluk puan› (TTTS-IS) kullan›larak e¤itsel kalite ve do¤ruluk de¤erlendirildi. Bulgular: Videolar›n ortalama süresi 336.43±351.8 saniye, toplam izleme say›s› ise 172.076±82.6 idi. Cerrahi risklerden videolar›n yaln›zca %33’ünde, cerrahi baflar› oran›ndan ise %35’inde bahsedildi. Tüm gruplarda DISCERN puanlar›n›n medyan de¤erleri s›ras›yla 32.50, 42 ve 26 olup, kötü, orta seviye ve çok kötü kalite anlam›na gelmektedir. Akademik bir kurulufl taraf›ndan yüklenen videolar, istatistiksel olarak anlaml› olmayan DISCERN ve JAMA puanlar›na sahipken, daha düflük GQS ve TTTT-IS puanlar›na sahipti (p>0.05). Video kayna¤› bak› m›ndan akademik kurulufllar belirgindi (%47.6) ve VPI ile ilgili olarak en popüler videolar ticari ‹nternet siteleri ve kiflisel kullan›c›lar taraf› ndan oluflturulmufltu. VPI, tüm puanlama sistemleriyle zay›f flekilde koreleydi. Toplam izleme say›lar› ve JAMA puanlar› aras›nda negatif korelasyonlar, GQS ve TTTS-IS ile pozitif korelasyonlar tespit edildi. Sonuç: Her grupta oldukça yüksek VPI puan› olsa da, YouTube® TTTS için fetal lazer cerrahisi ile ilgili düflük kalitede videolar sunmaktad›r. Bu tür videolar›n içeri¤inin t›bbi k›lavuzlara göre düzenlenmesi konusunda acil bir ihtiyaç bulunmaktad›r.
