Assessing the Quality of YouTube Videos Related to Perioperative Nutrition for Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Optimal perioperative nutrition affects outcomes in total joint arthroplasty (TJA), with malnutrition linked to increased complications. While YouTube is a popular platform for patient education, the quality of videos on perioperative nutrition is unknown. This study evaluated the quality and educational value of videos using established and TJA-specific scoring systems.

Methods

A systematic YouTube search with 11 arthroplasty and nutrition-related keywords was performed, excluding sponsored and non-English content. Two reviewers recorded view count, duration, upload age, health-system affiliation, and presenter credentials, then graded quality with Journal of the American Medical Association criteria, Global Quality Score, modified DISCERN, and a novel Joi
