Résumé
Online health information-seeking behavior has increased over the past 15 years; however, little is known about the online interest for surgical treatment of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. We used Google Trends to evaluate online interest for various surgical procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia in the US and worldwide. Transurethral resection of the prostate, photoselective vaporization of the prostate, Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, Urolift, and Rezum were selected as search terms of interest within Google Trends. Google Trends normalizes the popularity of search terms on a 0-100 scale. ANOVA and the average rate of change in popularity scores were conducted from July 2015 to February 2019. From 2004 to 2019, online interest in transurethral resection of the prostate and photoselective vaporization of the prostate remained stable in the US and worldwide; meanwhile, there was an upward trend for Urolift and Rezum. There was a statistically significant increase in the online interest for Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate in the US and worldwide; however, the mean popularity score was significantly higher worldwide. A shift in online interest towards minimally invasive surgical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia was demonstrated in the US and worldwide and parallels clinical practice patterns, such as HoLEP and Urolift surgical volumes in Indiana and Australia, respectively. Google Trends can be used in real-time to gauge online interest for surgical procedures and help guide physician-patient counseling.
