Based solely on the provided article body, a study tested the consistency, correctness, completeness, and coherence of ChatGPT answers to frequently asked patient preoperative questions, as scored by expert anesthesiologists. Researchers gathered commonly asked patient questions from professional association websites and consulted patient partners. A subset of questions was tested for consistency using intraclass correlation ICC (3,k) across multiple leading prompts. Then anesthesiologists and trainees scored responses on a Likert scale for 10 anesthesia-related patient questions, with and without a leading prompt. In terms of consistency, all ICC (3,k) values were below the prespecified threshold of 0.75, although confidence intervals were wide. Overall median ratings of the correctness, completeness, and coherence of each question ranged from 3.4 to 3.9, corresponding to average ratings between “good” and “very good.” Ratings for all responses were similar regardless of whether the question was submitted with or without the prompt. Excellent scores were rarer, receiving 81 (16%) for correctness, 66 (13%) for completeness, and 121 (23%) for coherence. The discussion noted that ChatGPT offers appropriate and moderately consistent answers to anesthesia-related patient questions, but this does not translate to patient comprehension, and the answers may not be appropriate for the particular patient and institution.
