TI  - A Quality and Reliability Analysis of YouTube Videos on Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
AB  - Objective: To evaluate the reliability and quality of information about chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) available on YouTube. Material and Methods: A total of 200 videos were gathered using the search terms “chronic prostatitis” and “male chronic pelvic pain syndrome.” Two urologists analyzed and rated the videos based on their usefulness, quality, and reliability of content. The modified DISCERN tool and the Global Quality Score (GQS) ranking system were used to assess the reliability and quality of the videos. Results: Out of the 200 videos, 120 were found to be suitable for evaluation. The majority of videos were found to be useful ( 65.83%), and were mostly produced by healthcare professionals (86 videos). Videos produced by healthcare professionals of academic origin had higher views and longer duration compared to those from private origin (p=0.043 and 0.011 respectively). Time since upload was longer for videos uploaded by academic healthcare professionals (p=0.003). The average reliability score, average GQS score, and average content score were all significantly higher for videos uploaded by academic healthcare professionals (p<0.001). All variables were not different according to the specialty of healthcare professionals (p=0.349; 0.349; 0.263; 0.307; 0.901; 0.118 ; 0.308 ; 0.114 ; 0.435 and 0.187 respectively) Conclusion: Patients seeking information on CP/CPPS on YouTube are likely to find valuable and trustworthy content, particularly when focusing on videos created by healthcare professionals, notably those associated with academic institutions.
