The reliability and quality of the videos were assessed by two independent pediatric surgeons using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), Modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), and American Medical Association (JAMA) scales. VPI was calculated as (like ratio\u2009\u00d7\u2009view ratio)\/100, where view ratio refers to the number of views per day since the video's upload date.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 60 videos, 53 (88.3%) were informational, while 9 (11.7%) were surgery-oriented. Videos were uploaded by private hospitals (15%), physicians (31.7%), and private youtube channels (53.3%). Thirteen videos (21.7%) utilized animations. The mean video length was 640.5\u2009\u00b1\u2009729.8\u00a0s, with an average view count of 83,728\u2009\u00b1\u2009265,503 and a mean VPI of 49.8\u2009\u00b1\u2009157.4. The average mDISCERN score was 2.53\u2009\u00b1\u20090.98, the GQS score was 2.52\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2, and the JAMA score was 2.55\u2009\u00b1\u20090.53.
