    Introduction: To analyze the quality of YouTube videos offering information about oral care in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Regular oral and dental care is essential for good general health and well-being. In this regard, the motor and/or cognitive problems of people with PD can complicate correct daily hygiene. Materials and methods: A systematic review was made of YouTube videos for the terms “Parkinson’s disease,” “dental education,” “oral care,” “dental care,” “oral disease,” “oral status,” and “oral health.” The videos were assessed for content, duration, number of viewings, days since upload, and likes and dislikes. The interaction index and viewing rate were also evaluated. Video quality was rated using a 5-point Likert scale based on the global quality score (GQS). Results: The search identified 620 videos, of which 42 were included in the analysis. The sources of the uploads were universities (n = 15), television channels (n = 8), and other sources (n = 19). Significant differences were recorded according to the source of information in terms of the duration of the videos (P = .021), the number of views (P = .025), viewing rate (P = .028), days since upload (P = .018), likes (P = .048), and dislikes (P = 0.008). Conclusions: GQS is higher for University videos; YouTube videos are an accessible, effective, informative, and educative tool for improving oral quality of life of patients with PD. Relevance to clinical practice: YouTube is increasingly used by patients with chronic disorders, for many reasons, including the desire for a second opinion, the search for support, and a wish to increase personal knowledge of the disease. Likewise, there is a growing interest in the search for information about oral care and coping skills.

    YouTube information about diabetes and oral healthcare
    (Springer Nature, 2019-08-08) Pons-Fuster López, Eduardo; Ruiz Roca, Juan Antonio; Tvarijonaviciute, Asta; López Jornet, María Pía; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física
    Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is increasing at an alarming rate all over the world. The aim of this study was to assess the quality information available on YouTube on diabetes and oral healthcare. This cross-sectional study made a search in YouTube (https ://www.youtu be.com/). Two reviewers assessed the videos and categorized them into useful, misleading or personal experience, and scored them using a global quality scale (GQS) from 1 to 5 according to their overall quality (1 = poor quality; 5 = excellent quality). The source of each video was also registered, as was user interaction with each video. A total of 97 videos were included for analysis. Of these, 30 (30.9%) contained useful information, 61 (62.9%) contained misleading information, and six (6.2%) recounted personal experiences. Overall quality scores showed statistically significant differences between those containing useful information and those with misleading information and personal experience (p = 0.001). Significant differences in content were also found regarding oral hygiene (p = 0.022), periodontitis (p = 0.002), and infection (p = 0.04). YouTube provides informative videos about oral healthcare for diabetics. The quality of the videos was variable and the videos recorded by dental professionals and Universities showed a higher quality. Further research is needed into oral healthcare for diabetics.

    YOUTUBE videos on oral care of the organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients
    (Springer, 2016-11-22) López Jornet, María Pía; Pons-Fuster López, Eduardo; Ruiz Roca, Juan Antonio; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Medicina
    Objective Video-sharing websites can be a useful platform for disseminating information. The aim of this study was to evaluate information about the oral health care of the organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients available on YouTube™. Methods The transversal study evaluated the content of YouTube™ videos. The videos were located by entering key search terms in the YouTube™ search engine—oral care/dental management/organ transplant/hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. The videos were then classified as useful, misleading, or as personal experiences reported by patients. The following information was registered: the source of the video, content, interaction, and overall quality. Results A total of 50 videos were reviewed; 16 (33.14%) were classed as useful, 22 (44%) were misleading, and 12 (24%) reported patients’ personal experiences. Significant differences were found in overall quality (p = 0.012). When interaction variables were analyzed statistically significant differences were found for the following: “I did not like this video” (p ≤ 0.05) and comments (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions Several videos reviewed information on oral care of organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients but were sometimes difficult to interpret. Nevertheless, YouTube™ is a tool that can help supply information and promote oral health care education among of organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.
