Evaluating the Consistency, Credibility, and Readability of Online Information for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: A Systematic Global Analysis Dylan Santini, S. Brinkman, M. Goutaki, V. Gkatzou, E. Grant, L. Peruque, D. Brett, F. Skinner, K. Eustis*, M. Elkins, H. McNeill, M. Biglin*, L. Kelly, L. Siqueira, J. M. Dickinson, A. P. Freire Project Mentor(s): Ana Paula Freire, PT, MSc, PhD Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic lung disorder for which information is limited, and diagnosis can be challenging. Utilizing the internet may be a useful tool in improving diagnostic capabilities for health providers and exploring treatment options for patients, yet the quality of this information remains questionable. This study aims to evaluate the consistency, credibility, and readability of PCD information available online. The first ten URLs available on the local search engines of 23 countries were compiled and analyzed by two independent extractors. The 206 websites were graded on a consistency rubric in four categories in relation to the PCD Foundation Guidelines. Websites were graded on the requirements of the four JAMA benchmarks, which were used to evaluate the credibility of online health information. Websites were also analyzed for readability using Flesch’s Reading Ease Score and the Flesch Kincaid Grade Level score. For consistency standards, the “consistent” grade was reached in 36% ( n = 74) of websites in the Terminology and Definitions category, 13% ( n = 27) for Clinical Examination and Diagnostic Criteria, 19% ( n = 39) for Symptoms and Clinical Manifestations, and 9% ( n = 18) for Treatment and Management. Under the JAMA benchmarks, 57% ( n = 117) of websites were found to meet the requirements in the Authorship category, 57% ( n = 118) in Attribution, 24% ( n = 50) in Disclosure, and 70% ( n = 144) in Currency. Websites produced an average score of 22.7 (STDEV = 21.8) for Flesch’s Reading Ease Score and 15.6 (STDEV = 4.0) for the Flesch Kincaid Grade Level score. This study highlights the need for accessible and accurate PCD information.

This accumulation of lactate is often indicated by the onset of fatigue. Lactate Threshold -1 (LT 1 ) is a useful training metric, allowing runners to determine an optimal sustainable running pace before experiencing fatigue and to increase tolerance to lactate accumulation in the blood. PURPOSE: To examine blood lactate kinetics in highly trained recreational endurance runners. METHODS: Highly trained recreational endurance runners were recruited for this study ( n = 15; 8 F, 7M). Participants completed a graded treadmill test to establish the first lactate threshold (LT 1 ) and a graded treadmill test to determine VO 2 max values. Descriptive variables for training and performance (running score and years running) were collected. RESULTS: Speed at LT 1 vs. Running Score had a R 2 = 0.054, Speed at LT 1 vs. VO 2 max had a R 2 = 0.688, and LT 1 speed vs. Years of Running had a R 2 = 0.002. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate a weak correlation between Speed at LT 1 and both running score and years of running. However, there appears to be a moderate correlation between Speed at LT 1 and VO 2 max values. This suggests that LT 1 speed may increase with VO 2 max.
