Assessing the content and quality of gout-related videos on video platforms: A cross-sectional study

This study reveals that gout-related videos on major platforms exhibit moderate quality and reliability. Professional uploads demonstrated superior thematic diversity and quality compared to non-professionals. Platform-specific differences were observed: Douyin prioritized interactivity over depth, whereas YouTube and Bilibili offered broader topic coverage. Positive correlations between duration, views, and quality imply that extended, evidence-based content fosters greater engagement.
