- Study evaluated 400 Chinese TikTok videos on urolithiasis (kidney, ureteral, bladder, urethral, urinary tract stones) for quality and engagement.
- Content quality was low overall using JAMA, GQS, mDISCERN, and PEMAT tools; videos on prevention/recurrence had better PEMAT scores and higher user engagement.
- Hospital/news agency videos had higher quality but lower engagement; animation/image-text formats improved understandability, TCM videos showed high actionability/engagement.
- Prevention content, culturally relevant framing, and visual formats linked to better engagement; evidence-based info with platform design can enhance health communication.
