摘要

We aimed to determine the content, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos related to intracavernosal injection (ICI). A search for the keyword “intracavernosal injection” was conducted on YouTube in February 2025, and the first 100 videos were watched. Video features were recorded. Each video was evaluated by two independent urologists using the comprehensiveness scale designed specifically for this study, modified DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS). The study included 60 videos after exclusion criteria were applied. Videos were classified as belonging to one of two categories: useful or misleading. Useful videos contained scientific suggestions, while misleading videos contained insufficient or unproven information. Analysis revealed that 52 videos provided useful information, whereas 8 videos disseminated misleading content. Useful videos demonstrated significantly higher scores on the comprehensiveness, modified DISCERN, and GQS compared to misleading videos (p < 0.001). Most narrators were urologists, and their videos were more useful (94.4 vs. 75.0%, p = 0.03). Videos narrated by urologists scored significantly higher GQS compared to others (p = 0.018). We also found that USA-based videos were more useful than other countries (93.8 vs 58.3%, p = 0.001). Additionally, videos from the USA had higher comprehensiveness and GQS scores (p = 0.023 and p = 0.038, respectively). Our analysis revealed that YouTube videos about ICI exhibited high quality, reliability, and rich informational content. The current findings highlight the significance of actively encouraging the utilization of urologist-narrated training video materials.
