Harnessing the open access version of ChatGPT for enhanced clinical opinions.
PLOS Digit Health 2024 Februrary
With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) into clinical medicine is becoming increasingly feasible. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the freely available ChatGPT-3.5 to generate complex differential diagnoses, comparing its output to case records of the Massachusetts General Hospital published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Forty case records were presented to ChatGPT-3.5, prompting it to provide a differential diagnosis and then narrow it down to the most likely diagnosis. The results indicated that the final diagnosis was included in ChatGPT-3.5's original differential list in 42.5% of the cases. After narrowing, ChatGPT correctly determined the final diagnosis in 27.5% of the cases, demonstrating a decrease in accuracy compared to previous studies using common chief complaints. These findings emphasize the necessity for further investigation into the capabilities and limitations of LLMs in clinical scenarios while highlighting the potential role of GAI as an augmented clinical opinion. Anticipating the growth and enhancement of GAI tools like ChatGPT, physicians and other healthcare workers will likely find increasing support in generating differential diagnoses. However, continued exploration and regulation are essential to ensure the safe and effective integration of GAI into healthcare practice. Future studies may seek to compare newer versions of ChatGPT or investigate patient outcomes with physicians integrating this GAI technology. Understanding and expanding GAI's capabilities, particularly in differential diagnosis, may foster innovation and provide additional resources, especially in underserved areas in the medical field.
