Summary: As ChatGPT, an advanced language model developed by OpeanAI, has gained great popularity among general population, we aimed to assess and evaluate the responses of the chatbot to patients' questions regarding hip arthroscopy and compare them with the current literature.


Purpose

To assess the accuracy of responses of ChatGPT (an advanced language model developed by OpenAI) to common patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy compared with current literature.

Methods

: ChatGPT 4.0 was presented with 25 common patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy with no follow-up questions and repetition. Each response was evaluated by two board-certified orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons, independently. Responses were rated as scores 1, 2, 3 and 4 corresponded to “excellent response not requiring clarification”, “satisfactory requiring minimal clarification”, “satisfactory requiring moderate clarification”, and “unsatisfactory requiring substantial clarification”, respectively.

Results

Twenty responses were rated “excellent” and 2 responses were rated “satisfactory requiring minimal clarification” by both of reviewers. Responses to questions “What kind of anesthesia is used for hip arthroscopy” and “What is the average age for hip arthroscopy?” were the two that both reviewers rated as “satisfactory requiring minimal clarification”. None of the responses were rated as “satisfactory requiring moderate clarification” or “unsatisfactory” by either of the reviewers.

Conclusions

ChatGPT 4.0 provides at least satisfactory responses to patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy. Under the supervision of an orthopaedic sports medicine surgeon it could be used as a supplementary tool for patient education.

Clinical Relevance: This study compared the answers of ChatGPT to patients’ questions regarding hip arthroscopy with the current literature. As ChatGPT have gained popularity among patients, the study aimed to find if the responses patients get from this chatbot is compatible with the up-to-date literature.
