headline: Large Language Model Data Abstraction Demonstrates Accuracy and Reliability for NSQIP
dek: Background National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data collection depends on labor-intensive manual chart abstraction, limiting efficiency, increasing cost, and necessitating patient sampling. This study evaluated whether a large language model (LLM) could accurately abstract unstructured NSQIP breast reconstruction variables compared with conventional human abstraction. Study design Clinical notes from patients enrolled in the NSQIP Breast Reconstruction pilot program (July 1, 2024-February 28, 2…

problem_title: Overall abstraction accuracy was 99.33% (61 errors) for the LLM versus 98.19% (164 errors) for human abstraction (McNemar p Conclusions In this proof-of-concept validation study, a customized LLM achieved significantly higher abstraction accuracy than conventional human review for general and breast reconstruction NSQIP variables.

Study design Clinical notes from patients enrolled in the NSQIP Breast Reconstruction pilot program (July 1, 2024-February 28, 2025) were manually de-identified and processed using a customized ChatGPT 4.1 workflow targeting individual variables. Overall accuracy of LLM and human abstraction was compared using McNemar's and Chi-square tests.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1141 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
