To systematically evaluate dry eye disease treatment-related videos on Douyin and Bilibili, focusing on video quality and adherence to specific clinical guidelines.
Key Findings:
The study developed a novel checklist, the Dry-eye-related Short Videos Standardization Score (DSVSS), to evaluate DED-related content, highlighting its importance in assessing video quality.
The Global Quality Score (GQS) was used to assess overall video quality, providing a standardized measure for comparison.
Significant variations in video quality and guideline adherence were observed across platforms and uploader types, indicating a need for improved content.
Interpretation:
The findings highlight the need for improved quality and consistency in health-related video content on social media platforms.
Limitations:
The study focused only on videos from two specific platforms, which may not represent the entire landscape of DED information online. This limitation suggests that findings may not be generalizable.
Exclusion criteria may have led to the omission of relevant videos, potentially skewing the results and limiting the comprehensiveness of the analysis.
Conclusion:
The evaluation underscores the importance of standardized, evidence-based information in patient education regarding dry eye disease.
