ChatGPT Provides Inconsistent Risk Stratification for Patients with Atraumatic Chest Pain

A recent study investigated ChatGPT-4’s ability to risk-stratify patients with atraumatic chest pain. The researchers found that while ChatGPT-4’s mean risk scores correlated well with established tools like TIMI and HEART, the AI model provided inconsistent results when presented with identical patient data on multiple occasions. This variability raises concerns about the reliability of using ChatGPT-4 for clinical decision-making in evaluating nontraumatic chest pain patients.
