About this study

This multicenter retrospective study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic performance of three large language models-ChatGPT, Gemini and Deepseek-using 800 archived inpatient medical records from urology departments across four tertiary hospitals. The study will focus on the accuracy and applicability of these models in disease recognition, preliminary diagnosis and treatment recommendation generation, in order to explore their potential value and limitations in supporting clinical decision-making in real-world settings.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Large Language Model Assessment (ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek)Other

    De-identified inpatient medical records were retrospectively collected from the urology departments of four tertiary hospitals (200 cases per site, 800 in total). Each case included standardized clinical information such as demographics, chief complaint, history of present illness, past medical history, physical examination, laboratory and imaging findings, discharge diagnosis and treatment plan.

    To simulate the role of an AI system in a "first-visit physician" scenario, all diagnostic conclusions, differential diagnoses and treatment plans were removed before being input into the models. Three large language models (ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek) were prompted with a standardized instruction: "Based on the above clinical information, provide your preliminary diagnosis, differential diagnoses and treatment recommendations." Each model generated outputs including (i) primary and secondary diagnoses, (ii) differential diagnosis lists with reasoning and (iii) preliminary treatment suggesti

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic Accuracy: Assessed by Top-1 accuracy

    Top-1: Proportion of cases where the model's first diagnosis matches the true primary diagnosis.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

  2. Diagnostic Accuracy: Assessed by Top-3 accuracy

    Top-3: Proportion of cases where the true diagnosis appears in the model's top 3.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

  3. Diagnostic Completeness

    Proportion of the model's diagnoses that overlap with all diagnoses (primary and secondary) in the case.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

  4. Differential Diagnosis Quality

    Evaluated by experts using a Likert 5-point scale, considering factors like common disease coverage, logical clarity, and specificity

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

  5. Treatment Plan Quality

    Assesses whether the model's treatment suggestions align with clinical guidelines, scored by experts on completeness, appropriateness, and safety.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

  6. Analysis Time

    5.Time taken by the AI model to provide diagnoses and treatment suggestions (in seconds), reflecting real-time capability.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urologic Diseases, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ning Xu (+86-13235907575, drxun@fjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic Accuracy: Assessed by Top-1 accuracy (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2026.
