Description
Abstract
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) uses a process by which machines perform human-like functions such as
automated clinical decisions. This may operate efficiently in gynecologic and obstetric emergencies. We aimed to
review the role and applications of AI in gynecologic and obstetric emergencies.
Methods A literature search was carried out in November 2023 in PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar
using the keywords combination of “artificial intelligence, gynecology and obstetrics”. Relevant articles were selected
and read. Reference lists of the selected articles were also searched.
Results The literature demonstrated the role of AI to improve healthcare in emergency settings in several aspects
such as diagnostic imaging, improving predictions in emergencies, and improving planning and resource allocation
for emergency services. AI works objectively, overcoming human biases in decision-making. Creating interconnected
data registries for AI will likely enhance its performance. Validation research in emergency settings has shown that
AI-prediction tools perform more accurately compared with the estimation of risk and outcomes by gynecologists
and obstetricians in emergency situations including endometriosis and acute abdominal pain. There was acceptance
of AI and its potential benefits. Ethical dilemmas of using AI include data governance, responsibility for errors, and
security issues. Providing training on AI to healthcare professionals working in emergency departments is needed.
Conclusions Healthcare professionals should educate themselves about the anticipated role of AI in gynecologic
and obstetric emergencies, its indications, limitations, and ethical considerations so that they can take steps towards
its application in their future practice using defined guidelines.
Key message
Why is this review is important? The use of AI in healthcare has created polarized thoughts among emergency
medicine professionals. This review is an effort to compare the pros and cons of using AI in gynecologic and obstetric
emergencies so that AI can be properly applied in these specialities.
What does this review show? This review shows that there are several research studies in gynecology and
obstetrics emergencies with positive points in favor of using AI in emergencies like acute abdominal and pelvic pain,
and endometriosis. There are some reservations from the practitioners to use it due to lack of understanding of its
nature, advantages and limitations. By narrating the findings of AI-related publications in gynecology and obstetrics
emergency, we propose their applications and their limitations.
