Review Reports - Integration and Assessment of ChatGPT in Medical Case Reporting: A Multifaceted Approach

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The papers appears solid in the overall, yet some typos have to be corrected, and some potential improvements concerning the results may be implemented (see the attached files for more specific comments).

The subject is (very) rapidly evolving, therefore the limitations expressed from the authors are of particular concern, as since May 2023 a lot of progresses have been witnessed - a lot of new functionalities have been introduced.

Under such perspective, extending the analysis at least to October/November 2023 would be highly recommendable.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Overall Comment:

This article represents an interesting systematic review on the use of ChatGPT in improving medical case reports, the limitations and challenges for the future. The article is of course original and of current interests. However, I would express several major and minor comments before considering it for publication.

Major comments:

Abstract section/Introduction section: In these sections, it should appear that the article is a systematic review. This has been stated in the methods but must be introduced in the abstract and at the end of the introduction.

In the search strategy subsection, you should mention how the strategy took place. Were the citations screened by two reviewers? What about the full text? Later you mentioned the data extraction process with 3 reviewers. This has to be clarified. Also as recommended in systematic review, did you proceed to a quality assessment of the different articles? If yes, please provide the data, if not, please report the limitation. Methods related to systematic reviews should be followed or limitations should be stated.

Minor comments:

Limitations of the study : only one database was checked, it is often recommended that at least 3 databases are involved for systematic reviews.

End of the review was 1 June 2023 and we are in march 2024, it could be interesting to update the findings.

Dear Reviewer 2:

Thank you for considering our manuscript entitled “Integration and Assessment of ChatGPT in Medical Case Reporting: A Multifaceted Approach”(manuscript ID: ejihpe-2900327).

Enclosed are point-by-point responses to each comment. Changes made to the revised manuscript are highlighted using the“track changes”feature in the attached document.

In response to feedback, we clarified our study as a bibliometric analysis, not a systematic review, due to the depth analysis on nature of articles. We updated the manuscript to reflect a clear review process and third-person narrative and acknowledging the limitation of using a single database. Most importantly, we extended our review period to December 2023, incorporating five more articles and refining our exclusion criteria for enhanced focus and quality.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit our revised manuscript and hope that it is now suitable for publication in European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education.

Sincerely yours,
