- Study evaluates the quality of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)-related short videos on TikTok and Bilibili.
- TikTok videos were shorter but had higher engagement compared to Bilibili.
- Professional doctors uploaded most TikTok videos, which had higher quality scores (GQS median: 3.0 vs. Bilibili's 2.0).
- Both platforms had a median mDISCERN score of 3.0, indicating moderate reliability.
- Videos from professionals/institutions scored higher on quality metrics (GQS, mDISCERN, JAMA) than non-professional content.
- Bilibili had more individual-user videos, which were lower in quality and consistency.
- Epidemiology and prevention topics were rarely covered across platforms.
- Popularity of videos correlated with engagement metrics but not with scientific quality.
- Platforms should improve professional certification and content review for evidence-based medical knowledge dissemination.
