Inadequate health professional touch in YouTube™ videos on how to administer subcutaneous immunoglobulin in immunodeficiency.

The aim was to evaluate the content of videos titled "How to administer subcutaneous immunoglobulin in immunodeficiency" on YouTube. The search term 'How to administer subcutaneous immunoglobulin in immunodeficiency?' was searched on YouTube™ (https://www.youtube.com) and the first 200 videos were reviewed on December 16, 2023. The majority of the 40 videos included in the study were uploaded by patients (62.5%). It was found that the understandable rate of patients' uploads was significantly lower (4.0%) than other (46.7%) (p = .000). The number of likes and comments per 1000 views were higher in the patient group (p = .000, p = .006, respectively), but the GQS and mDISCERN scores were lower and statistically significant (p = .040, p = .000, respectively). Healthcare professionals and organizations have not shared enough videos on the use of subcutaneous immunoglobulin, and studies on this subject appear insufficient. In addition, a control mechanism is needed for video content on the internet related to health.
