A third of older people take five or more regular medications (polypharmacy). Conducting medication reviews in primary care is key to identify and reduce/ stop inappropriate (deprescribing). Recent recommendations for effective deprescribing include shared-decision making a multidisciplinary approach. Our aim was understand when, why, how interventions review involving teams (MDTs) work (or do not work) people.

Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to compare the clinical decision‐making for benzodiazepine deprescribing between a healthcare provider (HCP) and an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot GPT4 (ChatGPT‐4). Methods We analysed real‐world data from Croatian cohort community‐dwelling patients ( n = 154) within EuroAgeism H2020 ESR 7 project. HCPs evaluated using pre‐established criteria assess discontinuation potential. research team devised tested AI prompts ensure consistency with HCP judgements. An independent researcher employed ChatGPT‐4 predetermined simulate decisions each patient case. Data derived human‐HCP were compared agreement rates Cohen's kappa. Results Both HPC ChatGPT identified (96.1% 89.6%, respectively), showing rate 95% κ .200, P .012). Agreement on four ranged 74.7% 91.3% (lack indication .352, < .001; prolonged use .088, .280; safety concerns .123, .006; incorrect dosage .264, .001). Important limitations GPT‐4 responses identified, including 22.1% ambiguous outputs, generic answers inaccuracies, posing inappropriate risks. Conclusions While AI‐HCP is substantial, sole reliance poses risk unsuitable decision‐making. This study's findings reveal both strengths areas enhancement in recommendations sample. Our underscores need additional functionality therapy decision‐making, further fostering advancement optimal performance.
