Ask HN: How reliable is WebMD?

13 点作者 assafmo超过 7 年前
When reading about general stuff (like sugar or diet), not looking for simptoms?

It has 18000 results just for weight loss, and if you look at different diets for weight loss, they are conflicting, so I wouldn&#x27;t trust it.<p>I think PubMed is still the best thing we&#x27;ve got: read medical publications directly, even those are not clear, but at least closer to the data source.

PubMed Health (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmedhealth&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmedhealth&#x2F;</a>), MEDLINE Plus (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medlineplus.gov&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medlineplus.gov&#x2F;</a>), UpToDate Basics (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uptodate.com&#x2F;contents&#x2F;table-of-contents&#x2F;patient-information" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uptodate.com&#x2F;contents&#x2F;table-of-contents&#x2F;patient-...</a>) all better than WebMD. I am a medical librarian.

According to this study[0] on the diagnostic (and triage) accuracy of online symptom checkers (including WebMD among others), the reliability is a coin toss.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bmj.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;351&#x2F;bmj.h3480&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bmj.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;351&#x2F;bmj.h3480&#x2F;</a>
