Comparison of NLP machine learning models with human physicians for ASA Physical Status classification

S. B. Yoon, J. Lee, et al.

This groundbreaking study explores the potential of natural language processing (NLP) in automating ASA-PS classification, achieving superior performance compared to human anesthesiologists. Conducted by Soo Bin Yoon and colleagues, the ClinicalBigBird model showcased an impressive AUROC of 0.915, indicating a transformative step towards streamlined clinical workflows.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop natural language processing (NLP) models to classify ASA-PS using pre-anesthesia evaluation summaries, comparing their performance to human physicians. The ClinicalBigBird model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.915, outperforming board-certified anesthesiologists in specificity, precision, and F1-score. This suggests an NLP-based approach can automate ASA-PS classification, streamlining clinical workflows.
