Large Language Model-Based Chatbot vs Surgeon-Generated Informed Consent Documentation for Common Procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Informed consent is a critical component of patient care before invasive procedures, yet it is frequently inadequate. Electronic consent forms have the potential to facilitate patient comprehension if they provide information that is readable, accurate, and complete; it is not known if large language model (LLM)-based chatbots may improve informed consent documentation by generating accurate and complete information that is easily understood by patients.

Objective

To compare the readability, accuracy, and completeness of LLM-based chatbot- vs surgeon-generated information on the risks, benefits, and alternatives (RBAs) of common surgical procedures.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study compared randomly selected surgeon-generated RBA
