Article Synopsis
  • Researchers explored how large language models (LLMs) can aid in generating guideline questions for allergic rhinitis by using online search data and direct LLM interactions.
  • They identified 3975 unique search queries, distilling them to 37 relevant questions, with 6 new questions prioritized for the 2024 ARIA guidelines that were not initially considered by the expert panel.
