UNASSIGNED: @entity1 increasingly search the Internet for information about health and potential treatments, but the content and accuracy of some websites are questionable. To evaluate the quality of information on maxillofacial @entity130 , we searched for the terms " @entity14438 " and "cheekbone @entity174 " on Google, Yahoo, and @entity6426 . We assessed the first 10 results of each search and excluded duplicates or those that were unrelated. We then used the DISCERN tool and the @entity17264 (Journal of the American Medical Association) benchmarks to assess those that remained. Of the original 60 found, 38 were excluded (29 duplicates, 9 unrelated). The mean (range) DISCERN score for each search was 38.5 (27-57) for @entity14438 and 41.9 (26-61) for cheekbone @entity174 . No website achieved an excellent score (more than 63), and over three-quarters were categorised as poor (27-38) or fair (39-50). None met all the @entity17264 benchmarks, but most adhered to at least two. The standard of online information on maxillofacial @entity130 varies, but is generally of poor quality. @entity1 should therefore be advised to be cautious of online sources and should be directed towards higher-quality websites.
