Completeness and readability of GPT-4-generated multilingual discharge instructions in the pediatric emergency department.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess the completeness and readability of generative pre-trained transformer-4 (GPT-4)-generated discharge instructions at prespecified reading levels for common pediatric emergency room complaints.

Materials and methods

The outputs for 6 discharge scenarios stratified by reading level (fifth or eighth grade) and language (English, Spanish) were generated fivefold using GPT-4. Specifically, 120 discharge instructions were produced and analyzed (6 scenarios: 60 in English, 60 in Spanish; 60 at a fifth-grade reading level, 60 at an eighth-grade reading level) and compared for completeness and readability (between language, between reading level, and stratified by group and reading level). Completeness was defined as the proportion of li
