Objective:

To assess the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) in managing abnormal cervical screening results within a scenario-based framework.

Approach:
  • Risk-Based Management Guidelines: The study references the 2019 ASCCP risk-based management consensus guidelines, which emphasize a decision framework based on the estimated risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (CIN 3+).
  • Complex Decision-Making: The complexity of decision-making in cervical screening management is highlighted, requiring contextual clinical reasoning due to various history-dependent decision points.
  • LLM Evaluation: The evaluation of LLMs is conducted through open-ended, scenario-based assessments to better reflect real-world clinical performance.
Key Findings:
  • The ASCCP guidelines have complicated clinical decision-making due to their individualized approach.
  • Identical screening results can lead to different management strategies based on historical data.
  • LLMs may not demonstrate clinically safe behavior despite strong performance in benchmark tests.
Limitations:
  • The study may not fully capture the nuances of real-world clinical scenarios.
  • LLM performance in clinical settings may differ from benchmark evaluations.
