P666 Accuracy of information given by ChatGPT for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in relation to ECCO guidelines

Abstract

Abstract Background As acceptance of AI platforms increases, more patients will consider these tools as sources of information. The ChatGPT architecture utilizes a neural network to process natural language, thus generating responses based on the context of input text. The accuracy and completeness of ChatGPT3.5 in the context of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) remains unclear. Methods In this prospective study, 38 questions worded by IBD patients were inputted into ChatGPT3.5. The following topics were covered: 1) Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and malignancy, 2) maternal medicine 3) infection and vaccination 4) complementary medicine. Responses given by ChatGPT were assessed for accuracy (1 – completely incorrect to 5 – completely correct) and completeness (3-point Likert scale; range 1 – incomplete to 3 – complete) by 14 expert gastroenterologists, in comparison with relevant ECCO guidelines. Results In terms of accuracy, most replies (84.2%) had a median score of ≥4 (IQR:2) and a mean score of 3.87 (SD: +/- 0.6). For completeness, 34.2% of the replies had a median score of 3 and 55.3 % had a median score of between 2 and <3. Overall, the mean rating was 2.24 (SD: +/- 0.4, Median:2 IQR :1). Though group 3 and 4 had a higher mean for both accuracy and completeness, there was no significant scoring variation between the 4 question groups (Kruskal-Wallis test p:>0.05) (Table 1). However, statistical analysis for the different individual questions revealed a significant difference both for accuracy (p<0.001) and completeness (p<0.001). The questions which rated the highest for both accuracy and completeness were related to smoking, while the lowest rating was related to screening for malignancy and vaccinations especially in the context of immunosuppression and family planning. Conclusion This is the first study to demonstrate the capability of an AI-based system to provide accurate and comprehensive answers to real-world patient queries in IBD. AI systems may serve as a useful adjunct for patients, in addition to standard of care in clinic and validated patient information resources. However, responses in specialist areas may deviate from evidence-based guidance and the replies need to give more firm advice.
