Evaluation of the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on obstetric perineal tears
YouTube videos on obstetric perineal tears have only been rated as fairly reliable. We identified the top four videos using the validated DISCERN instrument. Our top four best videos were unpopular because they used medical terms, narrated by physician and the duration was long. Thus, they would be more appropriate to a medical cohort. YouTube videos should be improved to better explain obstetric perineal tears to the public.
