- Abstract: Background: Large language models (LLMs) are attracting increasing interest in healthcare. Their ability to summarise large datasets effectively, answer questions accurately, and generate synthesised text is widely recognised. These capabilities are already finding applications in healthcare. Body: This commentary discusses LLMs usage in the clinical prediction context and highlight potential benefits and existing challenges. In these early stages, the focus should be on extending the methodology, specifically on validation, fairness and bias evaluation, survival analysis and development of regulations. Conclusion: We conclude that further work and domain-specific considerations need to be made for full integration into the clinical prediction workflows.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown the potential to accelerate clinical curation via few-shot in-context learning.
They still struggle with issues regarding accuracy and interpretability, especially in mission-critical domains such as health.
Here, we explore a general mitigation framework using self-verification, which leverages the LLM to provide provenance for its own extraction and check its own outputs.
