P0350 – The Power and Peril of YouTube: Evaluating Its Impact on Colon Cancer Screening Awareness
What’s new here and important for clinicians?
This study reveals that despite YouTube’s popularity, its content on colon cancer screening is often misleading. Academic videos outperform private ones in quality and accuracy, as evidenced by higher DISCERN, GQS, and PEMAT scores. Clinicians should be aware that YouTube contains significant misinformation about colon cancer screening. This study strongly suggests directing patients toward academic videos, which consistently scored higher for quality and accuracy. Promoting credible sources is essential for improving public understanding and encouraging appropriate screening behaviors.
What do patients need to know?
This study advises caution for patients seeking information on colon cancer screening when using YouTube. Academic videos were found to be significantly more reliable and accurate compared to private ones. Look for videos produced by credible academic sources, which tend to have higher scores and more likes, views, and subscribers.
P1223 – Understanding the Landscape: The Emergence of AI, ChatGPT, and Google BARD in Gastroenterology
What’s new here and important for clinicians?
The study introduces a comparative evaluation of Chat GPT and Google BARD in gastrointestinal medical management, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and reliability in AI applications for healthcare. Clinicians should note that in the realm of gastrointestinal medical management, Chat GPT significantly outperformed Google BARD in both the accuracy and reliability of information. This suggests that Chat GPT could be a more dependable tool for aiding in diagnosis and disease management. However, continued research and development are essential to maximize efficacy and safety.
What do patients need to know?
Patients looking for gastrointestinal medical advice should know that Chat GPT outperformed Google BARD in accuracy and reliability in a recent study. This suggests that Chat GPT could be a more dependable source for information and assistance. However, it’s crucial to consult healthcare professionals for diagnosis and treatment, as ongoing research is needed to improve these tools.
