dc.description.abstractPurpose: The objective of this study was to identify key features of the videos related to neurological symptoms of COVID-19 published on YouTube and evaluate the quality and reliability of them. Methods: YouTube searches was performed using keywords “COVID -19 Neurological Symptoms” and the first 50 YouTube videos with the highest number of views were evaluated by one neurologist and one infectious disease specialist with DISCERN and JAWA scoring systems. Results: Videos uploaded by health channels (50%), news channels (26%), physicians (22%), or patients (2%). The mean Video Power Index value was 95.51. The mean DISCERN score was 46.59±10.90 (average) and the mean JAMA score was 2.87±0.65. Health Channel mean JAMA and DISCERN scores were higher than News Channel scores. DISCERN or JAMA scores did not correlate with view counts, view rate, comment counts, like counts, or dislike counts. Conclusion: Proper use of Youtube as a source for reaching information, can play a role in managing the COVID-19 outbreak. Lack of control on video sources reduces validity of information. With the increase of the publication of videos by neurologists, the spread of false information can be minimized.
