A Domain-Specific Language Model for Clinical Applications in Cleft Lip and Palate: A Parameter-Efficient Approach Using Generative Pre-Trained Transformers
To develop a specialized generative pre-trained transformer (CLP-GPT) for clinical decision support and patient education in cleft lip and palate (CLP) management, specifically targeting surgical planning, patient counseling, and post-operative care.
Key Findings:
CLP-GPT outperformed Claude-3.5-Sonnet and Gemini-1.5-Pro in accuracy as evaluated by experts, highlighting its potential for clinical application.
For patient-oriented questions, CLP-GPT achieved high scores in credibility and comprehensibility, indicating its effectiveness in patient education.
No significant difference in accuracy and completeness was found between CLP-GPT and leading models for patient questions, suggesting competitive performance.
Interpretation:
The CLP-GPT model demonstrates potential as a reliable and efficient tool for clinical decision support and patient education in CLP, effectively addressing knowledge gaps in surgical planning and patient counseling.
Limitations:
The study focused on a specific domain (CLP) and may not generalize to other medical fields, which could limit its applicability.
The evaluation was limited to a specific set of models and may not encompass all available AI tools, potentially overlooking other effective solutions.
Conclusion:
CLP-GPT represents a promising advancement in AI applications for cleft lip and palate management, providing a cost-effective alternative to larger generalist models and potentially improving patient outcomes.
