Résumé : | Background Highly trafficked health websites are major sources of information, but the quality of their musculoskeletal information has not been thoroughly evaluated or their authorship characterized. Objectives To review information about common musculoskeletal conditions on highly trafficked websites and characterize their credibility, authorship, accuracy of information (as compared to treatment guidelines), and consistency with best practice recommendations. Design Systematic review. Methods We reviewed the top 15 most highly trafficked health websites, identified by web traffic data. Information about 7 common musculoskeletal conditions was identified and data extracted. Credibility was assessed using the Trust It or Trash It? tool, author backgrounds were identified, accuracy was determined by comparing webpage treatment recommendations to guidelines or systematic reviews, and consistency with best practice recommendations was assessed. Results Of 1760 webpages screened, 87 were reviewed. Less than half (44.8%, 39/87) had appropriate sources listed, but 65.5% (57/87) were updated in the previous 5 years. Journalists authored most webpages (55.2%, 48/87). Physician involvement was mostly editorial, and they often lacked expertise in musculoskeletal conditions. Information accuracy was concordant with guidelines for 49.4% (43/87) of webpages, but varied by condition. About half of best practice recommendations were followed (49.1%, 427/870). Pages were unlikely to mention psychosocial factors (16.1%, 14/87), limitations of imaging (18.4%, 16/87), or staying at work (4.6%, 4/87). Conclusions Popular health websites scored poorly for credibility, accuracy, and consistency with best practice recommendations for musculoskeletal conditions. Authorship, bias, and unsupported information are potential sources of inaccuracies that should be addressed in future by these websites. |
