Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Often, internet can bring a sense of anxiety rather than information and understanding to the patient. Our aim was to assess the quality of information available for patients on the management of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) on the internet. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Five search engines were searched using phrases 'PCOS and 'patient information'. Various parameters of quality that were assessed were source, currency and editorial review process (for credibility) and hierarchy and accuracy of evidence (for content of the websites). RESULTS:Fifteen relevant websites were located, none of which complied with all the criteria for quality. Complete information on PCOS was not provided by any of the website to women according to the quality criteria. CONCLUSIONS:With 1,000 of websites launched everyday, it is difficult for patients to determine which website is trustworthy and valid. Patients need to be watchful about quality of the information on medical conditions in the internet.
