The number of video comments insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.006);, daily view rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.001);, JAMA insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=<0.001);, and DISCERN insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=<0.001); scores were increased in high-quality videos. The video source was divided into two groups: physicians and non-physicians.
