Evaluation of GPT-4 concordance with north American spine society guidelines for lumbar fusion surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Concordance with evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines is associated with improved clinical outcomes in spine surgery. The North American Spine Society (NASS) has published coverage guidelines on indications for lumbar fusion surgery, with a recent survey demonstrating a 60% concordance rate across its members. GPT-4 is a popular deep learning model that receives knowledge training across public databases including those containing EBM guidelines. There is prior research exploring the potential utility of artificial intelligence (AI) software in adherence with spine surgery practices and guidelines, inviting opportunity to further investigate application in the setting of lumbar fusion surgery with current AI models.

Methods

Seventeen well-validated clinical vi
