After applying the exclusion criteria, 61 videos were included in the analysis and categorized according to uploader type and presentation format. Quality and reliability were measured using the Global Quality Scale, modified DISCERN tool, JAMA Benchmark Criteria, and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Content.

Physician-uploaded videos were generally of higher quality, whereas patient-generated content lacked educational value. Traditional narration and slides dominated, with limited use of animations or patient stories. Viewer engagement, including likes and comments, correlated with quality, but view count did not. The longer and more recent videos tended to score better. The assessment tools showed complementary correlations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The quality and reliability of YouTube videos on EN are highly variable, with nearly half containing low-quality information.
