Background.
Online health information is being used more ubiquitously by the general population.
However, this information typically favors only a small percentage of readers, which can result in suboptimal medical outcomes for patients.
Objective.
The readability of online patient education materials regarding the topic of congestive heart failure was assessed through six readability assessment tools.
Methods.
The search phrase “congestive heart failure” was employed into the search engine Google.
Out of the first 100 websites, only 70 were included attending to compliance with selection and exclusion criteria.
These were then assessed through six readability assessment tools.
Results.
Only 5 out of 70 websites were within the limits of the recommended sixth-grade readability level.
The mean readability scores were as follows: the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (9.79), Gunning-Fog Score (11.95), Coleman-Liau Index (15.17), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) index (11.39), and the Flesch Reading Ease (48.87).
Conclusion.
Most of the analyzed websites were found to be above the sixth-grade readability level recommendations.
Efforts need to be made to better tailor online patient education materials to the general population.
