N2 - Introduction:The readability, reliability, and quality of online hip preservation-related patient education materials from the top 20 orthopaedic academic centers in the United States were evaluated.Methods:The patient educational materials were evaluated with the following assessment tools: Flesch-Kincaid (FK) readability test, Flesch Reading Ease formula, LIDA instrument, and DISCERN tool. Videos were assessed using the Patient Educational Video Assessment Tool (PEVAT), an author-developed scoring system.Results:A total of 121 educational items were reviewed. Median (interquartile range) or mean ± SD of the FK level, Flesch Reading Ease, LIDA, and DISCERN scores were 11.00 (3.00), 47.32 ± 12.14, 41.00 (6.00), and 64.00 (7.00), respectively. Higher ranking was correlated with higher FK (ρ = -0.21, P value = 0.034), higher DISCERN score (ρ = -0.39, P value < 0.005), and a lower PEVAT score (r = 0.61, P value = 0.034). The PEVAT score found that 83% of videos were classified as high quality.Discussion:An analysis of the hip preservation patient education text articles found low readability. Overall, high ranking was associated with poorer readability, higher quality text content, and lower quality video content. Video content was found to be predominantly of high quality. Improving the educational accessibility and effect of hip preservation-related topics may result in improved treatment outcomes.
