چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveTo measure the presence and popularity of neurosurgical departments, journals, and nonprofit organizations on 3 major social networks.MethodsA systematic 2-pronged search strategy was used in June 2015 to identify all accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube that were relevant to neurosurgery. Online search was conducted by 2 independent authors. All accounts were ranked according to their popularity data.ResultsOur search yielded 158 social media accounts (86 Facebook, 59 Twitter, and 13 YouTube) of neurosurgical private and academic practice departments. Of the 158 accounts we retrieved, 117 were for private practice centers (74%). Accounts of academic and private departments had a similar median number of “likes” and “followers” on Facebook and Twitter, respectively. Seven neurosurgical journals only had active Facebook and Twitter accounts (of 20 screened journals). When compared with studies of social media in other medical subspecialties, the use of these networks in neurosurgery followed a similar pattern in their presence and popularity.ConclusionsThe current study shows different uses of social media platforms and numbers of users of the online neurosurgical community. Content optimization, advanced metrics of user engagement, and their subsequent effects on academic impact remain unanswered queries and require further prospective study.
