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

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].
