Evaluating the accuracy of ChatGPT-4 in predicting ASA scores: A prospective multicentric study ChatGPT-4 in ASA score prediction.
This study investigates the potential of ChatGPT-4, developed by OpenAI, in enhancing medical decision-making processes, particularly in preoperative assessments using the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scoring system. The ASA score, a critical tool in evaluating patients' health status and anesthesia risks before surgery, categorizes patients from I to VI based on their overall health and risk factors. Despite its widespread use, determining accurate ASA scores remains a subjective process that may benefit from AI-supported assessments. This research aims to evaluate ChatGPT-4's capability to predict ASA scores accurately compared to expert anesthesiologists' assessments. ⋯ The findings suggest that ChatGPT-4 can significantly contribute to the medical field by supporting anesthesiologists in preoperative assessments. This study not only demonstrates ChatGPT-4's efficacy in medical data analysis and decision-making but also opens new avenues for AI applications in healthcare, particularly in enhancing patient safety and optimizing surgical outcomes. Further research is needed to refine AI models for complex case assessments and integrate them seamlessly into clinical workflows.

Impaired oxygenation after lung resection: Incidence and perioperative risk factors.
To estimate the incidence of postoperative oxygenation impairment after lung resection in the era of lung-protective management, and to identify perioperative factors associated with that impairment. ⋯ Impaired postoperative oxygenation is common after lung resection and is associated with potentially modifiable pre- and intraoperative respiratory factors.
