Abstrakt: Background: ChatGPT, launched in 2022 and updated to Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) in 2023, is a large language model trained on extensive data, including medical information. This study compares ChatGPT's performance on Plastic Surgery In-Service Examinations with medical residents nationally as well as its earlier version, ChatGPT-3.5.
Methods: This study reviewed 1500 questions from the Plastic Surgery In-service Examinations from 2018 to 2023. After excluding image-based, unscored, and inconclusive questions, 1292 were analyzed. The question stem and each multiple-choice answer was inputted verbatim into ChatGPT-4.
Results: ChatGPT-4 correctly answered 961 (74.4%) of the included questions. Best performance by section was in core surgical principles (79.1% correct) and lowest in craniomaxillofacial (69.1%). ChatGPT-4 ranked between the 61st and 97th percentiles compared with all residents. Comparatively, ChatGPT-4 significantly outperformed ChatGPT-3.5 in 2018-2022 examinations ( P < 0.001). Although ChatGPT-3.5 averaged 55.5% correctness, ChatGPT-4 averaged 74%, a mean difference of 18.54%. In 2021, ChatGPT-3.5 ranked in the 23rd percentile of all residents, whereas ChatGPT-4 ranked in the 97th percentile. ChatGPT-4 outperformed 80.7% of residents on average and scored above the 97th percentile among first-year residents. Its performance was comparable with sixth-year integrated residents, ranking in the 55.7th percentile, on average. These results show significant improvements in ChatGPT-4's application of medical knowledge within six months of ChatGPT-3.5's release.
Conclusion: This study reveals ChatGPT-4's rapid developments, advancing from a first-year medical resident's level to surpassing independent residents and matching a sixth-year resident's proficiency.
