This study evaluated websites for spinal disorders, finding many patient-focused resources but few comprehensive sites for both patients and spine surgeons. No single website currently offers complete information for both audiences.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Web Science

Background:

  • Numerous websites discuss common spinal disorders.
  • Assessing the utility of these online resources for patients and spine surgeons is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify websites on common spinal disorders based on their usefulness for spine surgeons and patients.
  • To identify comprehensive online resources for spinal disorder information.

Main Methods:

  • Five common spinal disorders were used to generate search queries.
  • Websites were identified using five search engines and categorized by relevance, sponsor, and comprehensiveness.
  • The "And" operator was employed to refine search results.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A total of 56,249 websites were initially found; 227 were relevant after using the "And" operator.
  • The majority of identified websites were patient-oriented.
  • Only ten websites provided comprehensive information for both patients and spine surgeons.
  • Physician- or organization-sponsored sites were most prevalent.

Conclusions:

  • A significant number of websites exist regarding spinal disorders.
  • There is a current lack of a single, comprehensive online resource catering to both spine surgeons and patients.
  • Further development is needed to create integrated platforms for spinal disorder information.
