ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the accuracy and comprehensiveness of responses from four large language models [ChatGPT-3.5 (Model A), ChatGPT-4.0 (Model B), ChatGPT-4o (Model D) developed by OpenAI in the United States, and a domestically developed Obstetric artificial intelligence assistant robot (Model C)] to inquiries from patients with placenta accreta spectrum disorders and their families. Methods: A prospective study was conducted from June 2024 to March 2025, involving 25 pairs of patients and their families and 8 obstetric experts at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Sixteen questions commonly asked by patients and their families regarding placenta accreta spectrum disorders were collected, covering six disease-related areas such as disease mechanism, risk factors, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, pregnancy management, and prognosis. A physician then input all the questions into the four different large language models to obtain their responses. The responses were randomized and independently evaluated by four maternal-fetal medicine physicians using a three-point Likert scale and a six-point Likert scale to assess the accuracy of the responses. The majority consensus method was used to determine the final rating for each model’s response. For responses rated as “good” and scored 5 or above on the six-point Likert scale, a three-point Likert scale was further used to assess the comprehensiveness of the content. The accuracy and comprehensiveness of the 4 large language models was compared. Results: Significant differences in accuracy were observed among the four large language models (P=0.005). 25% (4/16) of Model A responses were rated as “good”, which was lower than the 75% (12/16) for both Model B and Model D (both P<0.05). The comprehensiveness score for Model A was 1.8 (1.5, 2.0), for Model B was 2.0 (1.8, 2.0), for Model C was 2.3 (2.0, 2.3), and for Model D was 2.6 (2.3, 2.7). There were statistically significant differences in comprehensiveness scores among the four large language models (P<0.001). Pairwise comparisons showed that Model D was significantly more comprehensive than Model A (P=0.004) and Model B (P<0.001). Conclusions: Significant variations exist in both the accuracy and comprehensiveness of responses from the four large language models to questions in six areas related to placenta accreta spectrum disorders. Model D performs better in both aspects. Model C has a better performance in comprehensiveness, but its accuracy needs further improvement.
