Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the quality of YouTube information in Brazil on radiotherapy-related oral mucositis. Study design: Cross-sectional study. The first 200 videos retrieved using the keyword "boca ferida radioterapia" on YouTube were analyzed, excluding those shorter than 1 minute, longer than 15 minutes, or unrelated to the topic. Technical information was collected. Six variables were assessed: definitions of head and neck cancer, radiotherapy, and oral mucositis; along with oral mucositis frequency, symptoms, and prevention/treatment options. Each video was classified as 'poor' if it scored 1-2 on ≥1 variable, 'average' if it scored 3 on all variables, or 'good' if it scored 4-5 on ≥1 variable and had no variables scoring 1 or 2. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results: Of 104 videos analyzed, 51.0% were from physicians, 85.6% for the lay public. Most lasted 1-9 minutes (87.5%), with 10,000-100,000 views (32.0%), ≤1,000 likes (54.4%), and ≤100 comments (66.3%). Ratings: 10.6% poor, 32.7% average and 56.7% good. Conclusions: Few videos on radiotherapy-related oral mucositis have incorrect information, but many are incomplete. Therefore, their content can be improved for completeness.
