Pediatric flatfoot is a common parental concern in pediatric orthopedics. This study compared the quality of NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites and Google-retrieved English-language websites on pediatric flatfoot using the Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQIP) tool.Methods: Websites related to pediatric flatfoot were searched using NAVER for Korean-language information and Google for English- language information. After applying the predefined exclusion criteria, 50 websites from each group were evaluated using the 36-item EQIP tool, which assesses content, identification, and structure. Total and domain scores were compared between the two groups and according to institution type.Results: Google-retrieved English-language websites had significantly higher total EQIP scores than NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites (55.50\u00b110.17 vs. 44.88\u00b111.83, p&lt;0.001), with higher content and structure scores but similar identification scores. Among NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites, public institution websites had higher total EQIP scores than private websites (55.38\u00b18.69 vs. 39.95\u00b19.74, p&lt;0.001), mainly owing to higher content scores. Among the top 10 search results in each group, Google- retrieved English-language websites had higher EQIP scores and included more public institution websites than NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites.Conclusion: In the selected search environment, Google-retrieved English-language websites had higher EQIP scores than NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites. Among the NAVER-retrieved Korean-language websites, public institution websites provided higher- quality information than private websites, but their visibility in the NAVER search results was limited. Improving the quality and visibility of reliable Korean online resources may support informed parental decision-making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12701\/jyms.2026.43.50","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]],"date-time":"2026-07-31T05:28:17Z","timestamp":1785475697000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12701\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quality
