| الوصف: | Background: The development and potential of artificial intelligence (AI) is remarkable. Its application in all medical disciplines, including rheumatology, is attracting attention. To what extent AI is already used in clinical routine in rheumatology is unknown. In addition, the perceived barriers, potentials, and expectations regarding AI by rheumatologists have not yet been studied. Objectives: To examine the current usage and perceived barriers and facilitators of AI, including large language models (LLMs), among rheumatologists. Design: National, observational, non-interventional, and cross-sectional web-based study. Methods: A web-based survey was developed by the Working Group Young Rheumatology (AGJR) of the German Society for Rheumatology. The survey was distributed at the Congress of the German Society for Rheumatology and via social media, QR code, and email from August 30 until November 4, 2023. Results: Responses from 172 rheumatologists (55% female; mean age 43 years) were analyzed. The majority stated that they did not previously use AI (73%) in their daily practice. Eighty-eight percent of rheumatologists rated their AI knowledge as low to intermediate and 84% would welcome dedicated training on LLMs. The majority of rheumatologists anticipated AI implementation to improve patient care (60%) and reduce daily workload (62%). Especially for diagnosis (73%), writing medical reports (70%), and data analysis (70%), rheumatologists reported a potential positive benefit of AI. Main AI concerns addressed the responsibility for medical decisions (64%) and data security (58%). Conclusion: Overall, the results indicate that rheumatologists currently have little AI knowledge and make very little use of AI in clinical routine. However, the majority of rheumatologists anticipate positive AI effects and would welcome increased AI implementation and dedicated training programs. |
