Background: Amidst the increasing use of AI in medical research, this study specifically aims to assess and compare the accuracy and credibility of openAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini in their ability to generate medical research introductions, focusing on the precision and reliability of their citations across five medical fields.

Methods: We compared the two models, OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini Ultra, across five medical fields, focusing on the credibility and accuracy of citations, alongside the analysis of introduction length and unreferenced data.

Results: Gemini outperformed GPT-4 in reference precision.

Article Synopsis
  • Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been found to standardize patient care and improve outcomes, particularly in feeding after gastrostomy insertion with or without Nissen fundoplication.
  • A retrospective study showed that implementing an ERAS feeding protocol significantly reduced the time until patients reached full feeds and shortened their hospital stay without increasing postoperative complications.
  • The study, conducted at a single center with 224 patients over several years, has limitations such as being specific to one hospital and reliant on accurate medical record-keeping, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
