Use of an Untrained Large Language Model for Antibiotic Prescription in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Primary Care Settings: A Study From the Italian Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases
The development of artificial intelligence systems is revolutionizing many fields of medicine, but specific studies are still missing in pediatrics. In our study, we showed that an untrained free-to-use large language model provided reliable responses regarding antibiotic prescription for 13 primary-care scenarios of pediatric infections.
