BACKGROUND Radiotherapy is a crucial modality in cancer treatment. In recent years, the rise of short-form video platforms has transformed how public accesses medical information. TikTok and Bilibili, as leading short-video platforms, have emerged significant channels for disseminating health However, there an urgent need to evaluate quality reliability information related radiotherapy available on these platforms. OBJECTIVE This study aims systematically assess radiotherapy-related videos Bilibili using Global Quality Score (GQS) modified DISCERN evaluation tool, thereby elucidating current landscape challenges digital communication. METHODS retrieved top 100 February 25, 2025. The was assessed (GQS, 1-5 points) scoring system (1-5 points). Statistical analyses were conducted Mann-Whitney U test, well Spearman Pearson correlation analyses, ensure validity results. RESULTS A total 200 analyzed, revealing that overall unsatisfactory.

Social networks share medical content with no peer-review or fact-checking. In the present study we aimed to assess quality, reliability, and level of misinformation in TikTok videos about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We performed a cross-sectional analysis retrieved using "PCOS" as search term analyzed patient education materials assessment tool for audio-visual (PEMAT A/V), modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), global quality scale (GQS), video information index (VIQI) were employed. A total 180 included. Most partially accurate (containing 25%-50% false information) uninformative (more than 50%) (56.7% 6.6%, respectively) significantly higher proportion inaccurate from PCOS-patients healthcare professionals (14.4% vs. 0%; P < 0.001) well (78.4% 37.5%; 0.001). PEMAT A/V scores understandability actionability 50% (interquartile range [IQR]: 33%-58%) 25% (IQR: 25%-50%), respectively (54% [IQR: 42%-71%] 33% 25%-50%], Median mDISCERN was 2 1-3) (low degree reliability), by scoring those patients (2 2-3] 1 0-2]; = Intermediate-low overall reported VIQI median score 12 10-15) lower (9 5-12] 13 12-17]; Similarly, GQS intermediate usefulness (median 3 2-4]), but patient-created 4 3-4]; PCOS-related on mostly misinformative low reliability. Healthcare professionals' more informative had compared content. Identifying addressing low-quality is crucial guiding future public health initiatives improving dissemination trustworthy social networks.
