GQS rating of 3.1 (P = 0.001) than patient experience videos with a score of 2.2. Patient education videos also received a higher JAMA score of 2.2 versus 1.4, although this difference was not statistically significant (P = 1). Table 2 compares characteristics of patient education videos authored by healthcare providers to those authored by patients. Patient-authored videos were slightly more popular than those from healthcare providers, with more views and likes on average. Furthermore, there was no significant difference of JAMA score or GQS rating between patient education videos authored by healthcare providers and those authored by patients (P = 0.6; P = 0.3, respectively). In conclusion, while personal experience videos on EB tend to be more numerous and more popular, patient education videos were of higher quality based on GQS rating. Within the patient education category, we found healthcare provider and patient authored videos to be of similar quality. It may be beneficial for physicians and patient support groups to provide guidance to patients in selecting online video resources, as the YouTube search algorithm does not take into account the educational quality of a video. The quality of medical videos on YouTube must be continually reassessed to ensure patients have access to high-quality, accurate health information.
