Accuracy, Completeness, and Clarity of EAU Guidelines Bot for Renal Transplantation

Background/Objectives: Recently, the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines presented the EAU guidelines bot to assist urologists in the reading of the guidelines; however, to date, no external validation is available. The aim of our study is to assess the accuracy, completeness, and clarity of the guidelines bot in reading renal transplantation guidelines and clinical cases.

Methods

A total of 103 questions derived from the recommendations included in the EAU guidelines on renal transplantation, together with 10 distinct clinical scenarios, were created. Each question and clinical case was submitted to the EAU guidelines bot, and the corresponding responses were independently evaluated by two expert urologists in terms of accuracy, completeness, and clarity. Each domain was scored using a 5-point Likert scale. In cases of disagreement between the two reviewers, a third urologist was consulted. Accuracy, completeness, and clarity were analyzed for the clinical cases and per chapter and grade of recommendation for the questions.
