The abstract discusses the feasibility of using Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to generate accurate, helpful, and safe responses to lab test-related questions asked by patients. The researchers collected QA data from Yahoo! Answers, selected 53 pairs for study, and used LLMs GPT-4, Meta LLaMA 2, MedAlpaca, and ORCA_mini to generate responses. They evaluated the similarity of answers using standard metrics like ROUGE, BLEU, METEOR, and BERTScore, and also utilized an LLM-based evaluator for relevance, correctness, helpfulness, and safety. Manual evaluation by medical experts showed that GPT-4’s responses achieved better scores than other LLMs and human responses on all four aspects. However, LLM responses may lack interpretation in a patient’s medical context, contain incorrect statements, or lack references.

This paper looks at using special computer models called Large Language Models (LLMs) to help patients understand lab test results. They collected questions and answers from the internet and had four different LLMs generate responses. The researchers compared these responses to each other and to human answers, looking for accuracy, helpfulness, and safety. They found that one of the LLMs, called GPT-4, did a better job than others on most aspects. However, there are still some problems with using LLMs in this way.
