This short report evaluated the accuracy and quality of information provided by ChatGPT regarding the use of complementary and integrative medicine for cancer. Using the QUality Evaluation Scoring Tool, a panel of 12 reviewers assessed ChatGPT's responses to 8 questions. The study found that ChatGPT provided moderate-quality responses that were relatively unbiased and not misleading. However, the chatbot's inability to reference specific scientific studies was a significant limitation. Patients with cancer should not rely on ChatGPT for clinical advice until further systematic validation. Future studies should examine how patients perceive ChatGPT's information and its impact on communication with health care professionals.
本短讯评估了 ChatGPT 在提供有关癌症的补充和整合医学使用方面的信息的准确性和质量。使用 QUality Evaluation Scoring Tool,一个由 12 名评审员组成的小组评估了 ChatGPT 对 8 个问题的回答。研究发现,ChatGPT 提供了中等质量的回复,相对客观,没有误导。然而,聊天机器人无法引用特定的科学研究是一个重大的局限性。癌症患者在进一步的系统验证之前,不应该依赖 ChatGPT 获得临床建议。未来的研究应该研究患者如何看待 ChatGPT 的信息及其对与医疗保健专业人员沟通的影响。
