Applicability Assessment and Comparison of Clinical Reasoning Outputs from General-Purpose Large Language Models in Medical Education
摘要
Abstract
Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis comprehensiveness of six general-purpose large language models(LLMs)on standardized clinical cases,and to assess their applicability for clinical reasoning education.Methods A total of 74 standardized clinical cases published in the BMJ"Endgames"column between March 2023 and February 2025 were included.Six general-purpose LLMs(ChatGPT-4,ChatGPT-4o,DeepSeek-V3,DeepSeek-R1,Gemini-2.0,and Kimi-k1.5)were prompted with identical text-only case information via their application programming interfaces(APIs).Diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis comprehensiveness were evaluated and compared across models.For statistical analysis,Cochran's Q test was used for overall comparisons of diagnostic accuracy,with post-hoc pairwise comparisons per-formed using McNemar tests;the Friedman test was used for overall comparisons of differential diagnosis compre-hensiveness,with post-hoc pairwise comparisons performed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests;all P-values were adjusted using the Bonferroni method.Grade distribution differences were analyzed using Pearson's chi-square test.Results Diagnostic accuracy ranged from 62.2%to 78.4%across the six models,with a statistically signif-icant overall difference among models(P=0.022);however,no pairwise comparison remained significant after Bonferroni correction(all P>0.05).Stratified analysis showed that accuracy was higher for cases without images(63.3%-81.6%)than for those with images(52.0%-72.0%),with no significant differences among models in either subgroup(all P>0.05).Regarding differential diagnosis comprehensiveness,DeepSeek-R1 achieved the highest mean coverage rate(61.2%),while ChatGPT-4o scored the lowest(50.3%),with a statistically signifi-cant overall difference among models(χ2=16.6,P=0.005).Post-hoc pairwise comparisons revealed that ChatG-PT-4o was significantly inferior to Gemini-2.0(adjusted r=0.436,P=0.009).Regarding grade distribution,approximately 70%-80%of cases achieved only"moderate"or"limited"comprehensiveness,with no significant difference among models(χ2=17.90,P=0.268).Conclusions Current general-purpose LLMs can achieve a moderate level of diagnostic accuracy on standardized clinical cases,but demonstrate insufficient differential diag-nosis comprehensiveness.Given that diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis comprehensiveness are funda-mental elements of clinical reasoning education,these findings suggest that the quality of LLMs-generated outputs is not yet sufficient for direct application in teaching scenarios and should be used with caution under teacher su-pervision.关键词
