最近,多个领域的研究人员将 Twitter 作为数据源进行了探索,但总体而言,这项研究仍处于起步阶段。关于使用 Twitter 研究心血管疾病的情况更是少之又少。我们试图描述与心血管疾病相关的推文的数量和内容,以及推特用户的特征。我们使用 Twitter 应用程序编程接口 (API) 访问 2009 年 7 月至 2015 年 2 月期间的随机推文样本。我们过滤了大约 100 亿条推文中与心血管疾病相关的关键词。我们仅包含来自美国各县的英语推文。我们根据估计的用户人口统计特征来描述每条推文。 2,500 条推文的随机子集是针对推文内容和修饰符进行手工编码的。 Twitter,社交媒体平台 Twitter 用户发布有关心血管疾病的推文 无 我们的主要结果包括 Twitter 上有关心血管疾病的推文数量以及这些推文的内容。糖尿病 (n=239,989) 和心肌梗死 (269,907) 术语的使用频率高于心力衰竭 (9,414) 术语。发布有关心血管疾病的推文的用户更有可能比平均推特人群年龄更大(平均年龄= 28.68 vs. 25.36,p<0.01),并且男性的可能性较小(47% vs. 49%,p <0.01)。大多数推文(94%)与健康相关。常见主题包括与风险因素 (42%)、意识 (23%) 和管理 (23%) 相关的推文。 Twitter 承诺让公众了解和交流心脏病问题。
Twitter has recently been explored as a data source by researchers in multiple fields, though, as a whole, the research remains nascent. Even less is known about using Twitter to study cardiovascular disease. We sought to characterize the volume and content of tweets related to cardiovascular disease, and the characteristics of Twitter users. We used the Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) to access a random sample of tweets from July 2009 to February 2015. We filtered approximately 10 billion tweets for keywords related to cardiovascular disease. We included only English tweets originating from US counties. We characterized each tweet relative to estimated user demographics. A random subset of 2,500 tweets was hand-coded for tweet content and modifiers. Twitter, a social media platform Twitter users tweeting about cardiovascular disease None Our main outcomes included the volume of tweets about cardiovascular disease on Twitter and the content of these tweets. Diabetes (n=239,989) and myocardial infarction (269,907) terms were used more frequently than heart failure (9,414) terms. Users tweeting about cardiovascular disease were more likely to be older than the average Twitter population (mean age= 28.68 vs. 25.36, p<0.01), and less likely to be male (47% vs. 49%, p <0.01). Most tweets (94%) were health related. Common themes included tweets related to risk factors (42%), awareness (23%) and management (23%). Twitter offers promise to characterize public understanding and communication about heart disease.
