<scp>TikTok</scp> as a platform for hysteroscopy information: An analytical video‐based cross‐sectional study to assess quality, reliability, and accuracy
TikTok videos' quality on hysteroscopy seems unsatisfactory and misinformative, with low understandability and actionability scores. Videos recorded by healthcare workers show higher quality and less misinformation than those by patients. Raising the awareness regarding the low quality of medical information on social media is crucial to increase future reliability and trustworthiness.
