Objectives

This study aimed to determine the feasibility of using Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) (https://chatgpt.com) as a patient resource for paediatric otolaryngology conditions and assess the quality of responses generated by ChatGPT when compared with information available on the internet.

Method

ChatGPT responses to common paediatric otolaryngology conditions were compared with top internet pages for readability (Flesch Reading Ease score, word count), expediency (time taken to generate response), validity (comparison of recommendations to the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery guidelines) and consistency (changes in recommendations based on question variation).

Results

ChatGPT was more expeditious in generating responses with fewer words, albeit with higher reading scores. When compared with accredited guidelines, there was no difference in validity between these sources (internet sources and ChatGPT). Consistent responses were obtained with question variation.

Conclusion

ChatGPT may be a valuable source for patients and families in providing valid information comparable to internet materials.
