Objective: To compare the quality and reliability of YouTube videos (YTVs) about transdermal testosterone (TT) uploaded by physicians and non-physicians. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ''Transdermal testosterone'', ''TESTOGEL'', ''AndroGel'', ''Testim'' and ''Testosterone Cream'' terms were searched on YouTube. The most related 94 videos were used for statistical analysis. All videos were divided into 2 categories based on the uploaders: physicians and non-physicians. Videos' length, view counts, date of uploading, number of comments, like counts were recorded. Global Quality Scale (GQS), Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) and The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scores were used to evaluate the quality, reliability and content of each YTV. In all scoring tests, a high score indicates high quality videos. Results: 53% of the analyzed YTVs related TT were uploaded by physicians. There was no significant difference between video uploaders (physicians and non-physicians group) in video duration (p=0.099), time since upload (p=0.557), total view count (p=0.952), dailly view ratio (p=0.850), number of commends (p=0.127) and likes (p=0.606). The mean GQS, DISCERN, and JAMA scores for YTV uploaded by physicians were higher than those of non-physicians (3.8, 56, 2.56, and 1.68, respectively; 29.4, 1.18, respectively). Longer video duration was associated with higher quality videos only in the physicians group, not in the non-physicians group (p<=0.001). A positive correlation was found between the duration of the videos and quality scores (GQS, DISCERN and JAMA) in only physicians group (p=<0.001). Conclusion: All health professionals and physicians should be aware of the importance of testosterone related information on YouTube. Most YTVs don't have enough true information about testosterone. They should upload high-quality content videos to YouTube to prevent misinformation pollution and testosterone misuse

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hekimler ve hekim olmayanlar tarafından yüklenen transdermal testosteron (TT) ile ilgili YouTube videolarının (YTV) kalite ve güvenilirliğini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: ''Transdermal testosteron'', ''TESTOGEL'', ''AndroGel'', ''Testim'' ve ''Testosterone Cream'' terimleri bu kesitsel çalışmada YouTube'da aratıldı. En ilgili 94 video istatistiksel analiz için kullanıldı. Tüm videolar yükleyenlere göre 2 kategoriye ayrıldı; hekimler ve hekim olmayanlar. Videoların uzunluğu, izlenme sayıları, yükleme tarihi, yorum sayısı, beğeni sayıları kaydedildi. Her bir YTV'nin kalitesini, güvenilirliğini ve içeriğini değerlendirmek için ''Global Quality Scale (GQS), Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) and The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)'' puanları kullanıldı. Bulgular: TT ile ilgili analiz edilen YTV'lerin %53'ü hekimler tarafından yüklenmiştir. Gruplar (hekim ve hekim olmayan) arasında video süresi (p=0,099), yüklemeden bu yana geçen süre (p=0,557), toplam izlenme sayısı (p=0,952), günlük izlenme oranı (p=0,850), yorum sayısı (p=0,127) ve beğeni sayısı (p=0,606) açısından anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Hekimlerin yüklediği YTV için ortalama GQS, DISCERN ve JAMA puanları hekim olmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (grupların sırasıyla 3,8, 56, 2,56; ve 1,68, 29,4, 1,18). Daha uzun video süresi, yalnızca hekimlerde daha yüksek kaliteli videolarla ilişkili olduğu gösterildi. Sadece hekimlerin yayınladığı videolarda video süresi ile videoların kalitesi (GQS, DISCERN ve JAMA) arasında pozitif korelasyon olduğu gösterild (p<0,001). Sonuç: Tüm sağlık profesyonelleri ve hekimler YouTube'daki testosteron ile ilgili bilgilerin öneminin farkında olmalıdır. Çoğu YTV testosteron hakkında yeterince doğru bilgi içermemektedir. Yanlış bilgi kirliliğini ve testosteronun kötüye kullanılmasını önlemek için YouTube'a kaliteli içerikli videolar yüklemelidirler.
