Evaluating AI performance in nephrology triage and subspecialty referrals.

ABSTRACT: Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in revolutionizing medical triage, particularly in the context of the rising prevalence of kidney-related conditions with the aging global population. This study evaluates the utility of ChatGPT, a large language model, in triaging nephrology cases through simulated real-world scenarios. Two nephrologists created 100 patient cases that encompassed various aspects of nephrology. ChatGPT's performance in determining the appropriateness of nephrology consultations and identifying suitable nephrology subspecialties was assessed. The results demonstrated high accuracy; ChatGPT correctly determined the need for nephrology in 99-100% of cases, and it accurately identified the most suitable nephrology subspecialty triage in 96-99% of cases across two
