Clinical Scorecard: Assessment of the Quality and Trustworthiness of Glaucoma-Related Videos on Douyin and Bilibili: A Cross-Sectional Content Analysis
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy causing irreversible blindness
Key Mechanisms
Elevated intraocular pressure leading to optic nerve damage
Target Population
Individuals aged 40 years and above, especially those with risk factors such as family history, advanced age, male sex, systemic hypertension, high myopia, diabetes mellitus, and corticosteroid use
Care Setting
Primary and specialized ophthalmic care with emphasis on early detection and long-term management
Key Highlights
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness with increasing global prevalence projected to reach 112 million by 2040.
Online video platforms Douyin and Bilibili are popular sources of glaucoma information but lack peer review, raising concerns about content quality and misinformation.
This study systematically evaluates glaucoma-related videos using validated tools (GQS, mDISCERN, JAMA criteria, PEMAT-A/V) to assess quality, reliability, understandability, and actionability.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Promote early detection through regular eye examinations for at-risk individuals.
Educate on urgent warning signs such as symptoms of acute angle closure.
Management
Emphasize sustained long-term self-management including adherence to topical therapy and follow-up.
Provide accurate, evidence-based information to support patient decision-making.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Encourage ongoing monitoring of intraocular pressure and optic nerve status.
Utilize reliable educational resources to reinforce patient understanding and compliance.
Risks
Recognize the risk of misinformation from unregulated online video content.
Address potential public health impact from misleading or false glaucoma information.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Glaucoma patients and at-risk individuals seeking information on social media platforms
Quality and reliability of online video content vary widely; high-quality videos are essential to support informed treatment adherence and self-management.
Clinical Best Practices
Use validated assessment tools to evaluate the quality and reliability of patient education materials.
Prioritize early detection education and clear communication of warning signs in patient resources.
Encourage use of professionally sourced and peer-reviewed information to counteract misinformation.
Tailor health communication strategies to leverage engaging audiovisual formats while ensuring accuracy.
Monitor and update educational content regularly to maintain relevance and trustworthiness.
