The top 100 most-cited articles on large language models in medicine: A bibliometric analysis

This analysis provides a core overview of high-impact LLMs research in medicine, guiding future applications. The findings highlighted the remarkable progress in clinical decision support, drug discovery, multimodal medical imaging analysis, and personalized medical information-answering. They also stress the need for prospective trials to assess real-world clinical impacts, boost the reliability of LLMs-generated medical info, develop consensus-driven solutions to address ethical challenges, and launch global initiatives to democratize LLMs tools.

Abstract

This analysis provides a core overview of high-impact LLMs research in medicine, guiding future applications. The findings highlighted the remarkable progress in clinical decision support, drug discovery, multimodal medical imaging analysis, and personalized medical information-answering. They also stress the need for prospective trials to assess real-world clinical impacts, boost the reliability of LLMs-generated medical info, develop consensus-driven solutions to address ethical challenges, and launch global initiatives to democratize LLMs tools.
