Use of a large language model for surveillance of central line-associated bloodstream infections at a pediatric medical center

We assessed the accuracy of a large language model (LLM) for clinical decision support for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) identification. Comparing LLM-assisted to manual review, the LLM could efficiently identify CLABSI and secondary BSIs with high sensitivity and specificity. Infection preventionists reported high satisfaction with the tool.

Abstract

We assessed the accuracy of a large language model (LLM) for clinical decision support for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) identification. Comparing LLM-assisted to manual review, the LLM could efficiently identify CLABSI and secondary BSIs with high sensitivity and specificity. Infection preventionists reported high satisfaction with the tool.
