ChatGPT vs. anesthesiologists: who assesses surgical risk better?
NCT ID NCT07783334
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can assess surgical patients as accurately as doctors. It compares their evaluations of physical status and predictions of ICU admission after surgery against actual outcomes. The AI is used only for research and does not influence patient care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-assisted preoperative assessment using ChatGPT and Gemini
- What this could lead to
- If AI performs as well as clinicians, it could support anesthesiologists in making faster, more consistent preoperative assessments and predicting ICU needs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. AI assessments are for research only and may not match real-world clinical judgment or improve patient outcomes.
