Perspectives and Experiences With Large Language Models in Health Care: Survey Study by Jennifer Sumner, Yuchen Wang, Si Ying Tan, Emily Hwee Hoon Chew, Alexander Wenjun Yip

“…While 75% (470/624) agreed that the user experience was positive, 46% (294/624) found the generated content unhelpful. Regression analysis showed that the experience with LLMs is more likely to be positive if the user is male (odds ratio [OR] 1.62, CI 1.06-2.48), and increasing age was associated with a reduced likelihood of reporting LLM output as useful (OR 0.98, CI 0.96-0.99). …”

“…Additionally, more patients in the nIComT group received perioperative transfusion (34.5% vs 14.7%, P<0.001), as well as an extended operation duration (276 ± 66min vs 246 ± 63min, P<0.001), when compared to the surgery-alone group. The logistic regression analyses of potential risk factors for cardiovascular complications showed that receiving neoadjuvant treatment was independently associated with cardiovascular complications (OR=2.03, 95% CI=1.15-3.57, P=0.015).ConclusionOur study highlights an increased risk of cardiovascular complications among patients received nIComT, underscoring the significance of postoperative circulatory interventions. …”
