Objective ChatGPT, an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, holds the opportunity to bring about a transformation in the processing of clinical decision-making within the realm of medicine. Despite the growing popularity of research related on ChatGPT, there is a paucity of research assessing its appropriateness for clinical decision support. Our study delved into ChatGPT’s ability to respond in accordance with the diagnoses found in case reports, with the intention of serving as a reference for clinical decision-making. Methods We included 147 case reports from the Chinese Medical Association Journal Database that generated primary and secondary diagnoses covering various diseases. Each question was independently posed three times to both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.0, respectively. The results were analyzed regarding ChatGPT’s mean scores and accuracy types. Results GPT-4.0 displayed moderate accuracy in primary diagnoses. With the increasing number of input, a corresponding enhancement in the accuracy of ChatGPT’s outputs became evident. Notably, autoimmune diseases comprised the largest proportion of case reports, and the mean score for primary diagnosis exhibited statistically significant differences in autoimmune diseases. Conclusion Our finding suggested that the potential practicality in utilizing ChatGPT for clinical decision-making. To enhance the accuracy of ChatGPT, it is necessary to integrate it with the existing electronic health record system in the future.

UNSTRUCTURED ChatGPT, a Generative Pre-trained Transformer, has garnered global attention and sparked discussions since its introduction in early 2023. However, it has stirred controversy within the realms of medical education and scientific research. This paper focuses on exploring the potentials, challenges, and corresponding strategies associated with ChatGPT. ChatGPT offers personalized learning support to medical students through its robust natural language generation capabilities, enabling it to furnish answers. Moreover, it has demonstrated significant utility in simulating clinical scenarios, facilitating teaching and learning processes, and revitalizing medical education. Nevertheless, a myriad of challenges accompany these advancements. In the realm of education, it is imperative to prevent excessive reliance on ChatGPT and combat academic plagiarism. Similarly, in the medical domain, ensuring the timeliness, accuracy, and credibility of ChatGPT-generated content is crucial. Concurrently, ethical challenges and concerns regarding information security arise. In light of these challenges, this paper proposes targeted strategies. Firstly, mitigate the risk of over-reliance on ChatGPT and academic plagiarism through ideological education, fostering comprehensive competencies, and implementing diverse evaluation criteria. Embracing modern educational approaches alongside ChatGPT enhances the overall quality of medical education. Enhance the professionalism and reliability of the generated content by implementing measures such as optimizing ChatGPT's training data professionally and enhancing the transparency of the generation process. This ensures that the generated content aligns with the most recent standards of medical practice. Furthermore, enhancing value alignment and establishing relevant laws or codes of practice address ethical concerns, including algorithmic discrimination, medical responsibility allocation, privacy, and security. In conclusion, while ChatGPT presents significant potential in medical education, it also encounters various challenges. Through comprehensive research and the implementation of suitable strategies, it is anticipated that ChatGPT's positive impact on medical education will be harnessed, laying the groundwork for advancing the discipline and fostering the development of high-caliber medical professionals.
