Diagnostic Accuracy of GPT-4o and Claude 4.6 Sonnet in Turkish ED Anamnesis Notes (LLM-ED-DX-TR)

3. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: Emir Ünal, Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital

Diagnostic Accuracy of Large Language Models From Emergency Department Anamnesis Notes: A Comparison of GPT-4o and Claude 4.6 Sonnet With Emergency Medicine Specialists

This retrospective diagnostic accuracy study evaluates the ability of two large language models (LLMs) - GPT-4o (gpt-4o-2024-11-20; OpenAI) and Claude 4.6 Sonnet (claude-sonnet-4-6; Anthropic) - to generate correct diagnoses from anonymized Turkish-language emergency department (ED) anamnesis notes, and compares their performance with the diagnosis entered by the treating emergency physician. A consensus gold standard is established by three independent board-certified emergency medicine specialists who blindly review each note and vote on the primary diagnosis using ICD-10 three-character codes; the majority vote (at least 2 of 3 specialists agreeing) constitutes the reference standard. Both LLMs are evaluated using a standardized zero-shot direct prompting strategy (temperature=0, stateless API sessions). The primary outcome is diagnostic accuracy (proportion of ICD-10 chapter-level matches) and Cohen's kappa for each LLM against the gold standard. Secondary outcomes include top-3 accuracy, treating physician accuracy, inter-model agreement, and subgroup analyses by ESI triage level and ICD-10 chapter. Inter-rater reliability among the three specialists is quantified using Fleiss' kappa. Analyses are performed in Jamovi. This study represents the first evaluation of LLM diagnostic accuracy using Turkish-language clinical notes and the first to benchmark LLM performance against an independent three-specialist majority-vote gold standard rather than against the treating physician's own diagnosis.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective diagnostic accuracy study, STARD-AI 2025 reporting, single center, cohort design.

AI INDEX TESTS: (1) GPT-4o (model version gpt-4o-2024-11-20; OpenAI API). (2) Claude 4.6 Sonnet (model version claude-sonnet-4-6; Anthropic API). Both accessed via Python (Google Colab). Temperature=0 for reproducibility. Zero-shot, stateless sessions - no cross-case context. No task-specific fine-tuning or additional training applied; models used as-is via API.

MODEL INTERPRETABILITY: Model interpretability analyses (such as SHAP, Grad-CAM, or layer-attribute visualizations) are not applicable to this study. Because GPT-4o and Claude 4.6 Sonnet are accessed as black-box models through proprietary, closed-source commercial APIs, internal model weights, gradients, and attention architectures are structurally inaccessible for post-hoc interpretability computations.

REFERENCE STANDARD: Three board-certified emergency medicine specialists independently evaluate each anonymized note, blinded to the original physician diagnosis and to each other. Primary diagnosis assigned by at least 2/3 specialists (majority vote) constitutes the gold standard. A 5-case calibration session precedes the main evaluation.

DATA PRIVACY: All anamnesis notes are fully de-identified (name, ID number, date of birth, physician name removed) prior to processing. De-identified notes are stored in a password-protected encrypted database. Only de-identified text is transmitted to LLM APIs - no personal health data. Compliant with Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK No. 6698).

PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: Not applicable. This retrospective study uses fully anonymized existing records; no patient or public involvement in design or conduct.

DATA SHARING: Anonymized dataset will be shared via Zenodo upon article acceptance. Statistical analysis code (Jamovi project files and Python prompt scripts) will be available on GitHub.

Studienpopulation

The study population comprises consecutive adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who presented to the emergency department of a tertiary care training and research hospital and had their encounters fully documented in the hospital information system (HBYS). Eligible individuals must have a complete electronic anamnesis note containing the chief complaint, history of present illness, and clinical presentation, alongside a definitive primary ICD-10 diagnosis finalized by the treating emergency physician at file closure. The population excludes pediatric cases, patients triaged to high-acuity resuscitation areas (ESI level 1), and clinical notes with fewer than 50 words or insufficient clinical content.

Beschreibung

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

  • Adult patients (aged 18 years and older) presenting to the emergency department.
  • Complete electronic health record available in the hospital information system (HBYS) containing a detailed anamnesis note with chief complaint, symptom duration, associated symptoms, and relevant medical history.
  • A definitive primary diagnosis recorded by the treating emergency physician using ICD-10 codes at the time of patient file closure.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

  • Emergency department anamnesis notes containing fewer than 50 words or completely lacking substantive clinical content[cite: 1].
  • Pediatric cases (age under 18 years)[cite: 1].
  • Patients critically ill and triaged to high-acuity resuscitation areas (Emergency Severity Index [ESI] level 1)[cite: 1].
  • Clinical notes containing residual identifying information that cannot be fully de-identified, preventing compliance with data privacy regulations[cite: 1].
  • Non-independent clinical notes consisting solely of a brief cross-reference to a prior hospital visit without a new history entry[cite: 1].
