Implicit Framing in Obstetric Counseling Notes: A Grounded LLM Pipeline on a VBAC-Eligible Cohort
Researchers have developed a new LLM pipeline to analyze clinical framing in obstetric counseling notes, specifically focusing on vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) decisions. The study analyzed 2,024 narratives to identify how physicians linguistically present delivery options. Findings indicate a notable difference in framing, with risk-focused language appearing more frequently in counseling for repeat cesarean sections compared to VBAC. AI
