Sumario:The aim of this research is to critically review peer-reviewed literature addressing YouTube as a source for healthcare information. A systematic research has been done through scientific database PubMed, retrieving articles published from Jan. 2017 to Apr. 2020, that included free-access YouTube videos content analysis. Results: 40% of articles reviewed focused their study on illnesses or diseases; median number of videos analyzed is 94; most frequent scoring systems are DISCERN (n=16), followed by JAMA and GQS; the majority of analysis also collect YouTube data and combines it with self-made indicators to measure video’s popularity. Researchers tend to classify contents as unreliable and as of poor-quality, particularly those uploaded by users or general information channels. This review concludes that, in general, it is necessary to improve content’s quality, reliability and usefulness, as well as the relevance of medical institutions and professional-made contents in the platform
